The 10:23 Challenge took place on Feb. 5 – 6. What’s the Challenge all about?<\/a><\/p>\n

The 10:23 Challenge was a follow-up to the ‘overdose’ demonstration staged by the 10:23 Campaign in 2010. Protestors from over 23 cities, across more than 10 countries, gathered to take megadoses of homeopathic remedies and make the simple statement: Homeopathy – There’s Nothing In It.<\/p>\n

The Challenge culminated on February 6th at the QED conference in Manchester, where over 300 protesters simultaneously ‘overdosed’ on homeopathic Belladonna, in the biggest ever demonstration of its kind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nDid anyone keel over or suffer any adverse effects from “overdosing” on homeopathic remedies? NPR has the results…<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, hundreds of skeptics in more than 25 countries took megadoses of the remedies<\/a> to demonstrate they do nothing. It was the second annual event organized by the 10:23 Campaign<\/a>. One bunch in West Virginia took 1 million times the recommended dose of a homeopathic sleep remedy and didn’t die \u2014 or even fall asleep.<\/p>\n

Now, there’s a $1 million challenge on the table to makers of homeopathic remedies from magician and professional skeptic James Randi<\/a>. If a rigorous double-blind, controlled study finds the remedies work better than plain water, Randi’s educational foundation will fork over the money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
