I guess we don't have a general homeopathy thread? I'll post this here.https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/08/massive-recall-of-homeopathic-kids-products-spotlights-dubious-health-claims/A tonic for newborns is said to relieve “restlessness,” and the company’s infant teething product claims to treat a baby’s “desire to be held constantly.” The company’s “Children’s Fever Reliever” also somehow reduces “fears” and “oversensitivity.”Sounds fun.

I'm pretty sure that site is Indian, which explains so much about the weird language issues. Saying you're "non-vegetarian" is a common thing in India/Pakistan/Bangladesh.How Do I Reduce My Sherman Tank Power?, August 11, 2016, 02:09:26 pmAlmost all of the posts they read are almost certainly Indian because they are all textbook descriptions of Dhat Syndrome. I almost felt bad for laughing at them so much.ManMythLegend, August 12, 2016, 02:43:31 am

I might be crazy but I remember homeopathic drugs having advertisements on TV and being sold in drug stores as legit drugs. Goes to show how great our medical industry is. So yeah, when I was a teenager of course I knew it was shit diluted in water, but all this mainstream visibility lent it the credibility of something that was socially acceptable to be sold as medication. It's been years so I don't know if this is still the case as I don't even own a television.Spooks, August 13, 2016, 12:37:21 amThere have been some FDA crackdowns on supplements and homeopathic products that actually claim to treat or cure specific conditions, but as long as you're careful about the language you use, you can sell pretty much anything as a bullshit health product in the U.S.Digital Walnut, August 13, 2016, 01:53:56 pm
