  • Unfortunately no test adhering to scientific standards has ever demonstrated that homeopathie provides anything more, at best, than a placebo effect.

  • Mssr Greenhell see's it as "obvious" that homeopathie is quack but given the strong beliefs in homeopathie I don't think the "obvious" is "that obvious". The US FDA, for example, has not gone after makers as "fraudsters" but yielding to the significant economic dimensions of their market has allowed their sale:

    "Today the homeopathic drug market has grown to become a multimillion dollar industry in the United States, with a significant increase shown in the importation and domestic marketing of homeopathic drug products. Those products that are offered for treatment of serious disease conditions, must be dispensed under the care of a licensed practitioner. Other products, offered for use in self-limiting conditions recognizable by consumers, may be marketed OTC."
