True, if you think that homeopathics can replace medicine, which I never have. On the other hand these people get to pay large amounts for drugs they don't need, aren't doing them any good and do have side-effects so the chance for "real" medicine has been missed here too, which was rather my point.
If you're going to be taking what is effectively a placebo, better a cheap harmless one.
Except, placebos work and work well, even in some cases, if you are aware they are placebos. Placebos work as well or better than some modern pharmaceuticals.
Attacking homoeopathy is taking the easy path. Bad pharmaceuticals are much more dangerous and costly than homoeopathy and attacking bad pharmaceuticals involves attacking a much more difficult systemic problem in modern medicine.

This is true. I never have used that bs and I never will.
