Yup, they trust their lives to homeopathy.

However, they're not altogether to blame.  In theory the Government
regulates consumer and health products to keep fraudulent and
dangerous products off the market; very few people know that (of
all things) "health products" such as "nutritional supplements"
are exempt from that requirement.


Homeopathy remedies ARE regulated by the FDA, my dear Ducky - as usual
you are misinformed about it - regulation of
homeopathic medicines was written into the law that created
the FDA.

You do know it's regulated through a separate law, which exempts
homeopathy from having to prove it's safe and effective before it can
be marketed? Why do you think homeopaths wanted that exemption?
