    Except that it’s ridiculously unregulated and it’s not even actually “homeopathic” half the time, it contains actual pharmaceuticals or even just straight up poison.

    Here’s an example. It took ten years for the FDA to get this company to do a voluntary recall despite their product giving babies seizures.

    I’m amazed people aren’t aware of this stuff.

      Yeah, that’s ridiculous.

      Just slapping a “homeopathy” label on something with no oversight can’t be an automatic dodge-all to regulation. If Hershey needs to prove what they put in a candy bar, anyone hawking homeopathic products should need to prove what they put in there as well.
