Whole foods needs to stop

"These "Uses" have not been approved by the FDA

So you're marketing snake oil as medicine

@haybuck I hate homeopathic medicine. It literally does nothing 99% of the time, and some of these dilutions would technically require more water than our Galaxy would likely contain. How the hell they manage that is beyond me.

@Cilich @haybuck Actually, homeopathic medicine Works, but the cool thing is you can do it freehand if you know exactly how.

Placebo effect is a helluva drug.

@Motodrachen @haybuck I still don't trust homeopathic remedies. Herbal remedies, sure. Holistic remedies? Sure. But this whole dilute the remedy to where maybe 1 in 5 million pills might contain a molecule of the actual medicine I have problems with. Especially when it's marketed to cure very serious conditions that need medical, herbal, or holistic medicines to cure.

@Motodrachen @haybuck I certainly don't disagree that the placebo effect is a thing that works, but too often I see it get peddled as a miracle remedy that will literally cure even cancer, and there are plenty of suckers willing to dump all their money into it as they waste away

@Cilich @Motodrachen Plus the criteria for a medicine actually working is that the placebo effect is appreciably worse than the actual medicine.

So this shit *doesn't work*.

@Motodrachen @Cilich "it can make you Really sick if applied improperly."

Dude, that's why there are INSTRUCTIONS on the BOX.

I'm sorry, I am not backing down on this one. At all. Period. I know people who have wound up in the hospital from taking Homeopathic medicine for the flu which did nothing and caused their condition to progress and ALMOST KILLED THEM.

This shit is DANGEROUS.
