Shouldn’t ALL homeopathic “medicine” be pulled?

Genetically Modified Skeptic intensifies

I swear I just heard drew screaming from atop a building somewhere.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 10 months ago

Probably, but I'd wager it's a timesaving way to treat hypochondriacs.

[-] CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

And potentially lifesaving but it doesn't address the core issue and makes a ton of profits for crooks instead of funding actual research

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

No, they just need to stop making claims that they help

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

Just label that shit for what it is: bottled water.

[-] SCB@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Some "homeopathic medicine" is just food tho

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

I think you're confusing natural medicine with homeopathy. Homeopathy is straight nonsense, always.

Maybe but that would involve us trusting the government.

I don't think it should have ever been a crime to smoke a joint I also don't think it should be a crime to eat a sugar cube that someone put three drops of water on it.

Legislators and regulators are targeting producers and not consumers.

Would you rather trust companies driven entirely by profit over the government?

The same way the drug war was waged yes? How did that work for us?

False dilemma. Now are you willing to put down money right now that the government will never try to ban abortion pills? If you aren't I must conclude that you are the one that doesn't trust the government. You know the same government that fought a war against cannabis users for 9 decades.

Do you live in USA? If I did, I would be worried about the government too.
