Ah, there we have it. The FDA approves. I have news you for you buddy.
Thanks to political pressure from homeopaths (note that: 'political
pressure', not 'scientific evidence' or even plain 'evidence') has
given homeopathy a special place in the FDA rules. Homeopathy does not
need to show efficacy and safety, contrary to conventional medicine.
All the producers of this magic water have to do is make sure the
ingredients mentioned on the label are in the homeopathic farmacopeia.
That's it. And yes, thanks to certain politicians and the political
machinations of the homeopaths the FDA can be said to be part of a
conspiracy to commit fraud on the public.
You had better read up on the subject before voicing your opinion.
