About Me

Hello, @SparkleWildfire here.

This blog is one way in which I fight the good fight against pseudoscience and quackery. It's my way of loudly promoting skeptical principles in healthcare.I'm a passionate advocate of Evidence-Based Medicine and am also hopefully a half-decent pharmacist.

Say Hello

If you'd like to get in touch, drop me an e-mail at:

healthydoseofskepticism@gmail.com

I'd love to hear from you, but please note that I'll happily respond to reason, politeness, and evidence, but I wont respond to non-evidence based pseudo-scientific nonsense, spam, or rudeness.

A note on comments

Just to let you know, I've hidden comments at the moment.

This is purely because I simply don't have the time to moderate them, so I've a huge backlog and I can never keep on top of publishing them or responding. I feel like I've been doing a half-arsed job of it lately so I thought the best way was to switch them off for now and hope that a few extra hours will be added onto each day in future.

I would love to hear from you if you have a differing opinion to mine. However, I'lll respond to evidence, not to woolly statements or personal abuse.

Wahey, I got shortlisted for an award!
