We are a group of rational thinking activists in the San Francsico Bay Area working to grow the modern skeptical movement and hamper northern California "Woo Factories" from exporting irrational thinking around the world.

We are not skeptical of the scientific method or evidence-based thinking.

Homeopathy is a popular but widely misunderstood form of alternative medicine based on pseudo-scientific principles. Homeopathic "remedies" are made by diluting questionable remedies with extraordinary amounts of water - often until there is a mere chance of one molecule of active ingredient in the final treatment.

Extraordinary claims are causing consumers to forego traditional medical treatment, with estimates of Americans spending in excess of US$3B per year on this pseudoscience.
The time has come to stand up for rational thinking and scientific evidence.

Like-minded skeptics came together in San Francisco on the morning of Feb. 5 as we take part in the worldwide 10:23 campaign to raise awareness on this issue. We demonstrated, supplied information, and performed a mass “overdose” to garner attention for this cause.
