Homeopathic medicine, a quack approach to health, has poor PR. The FDA is now set to start regulating it. The administration pulled no punches with its decision.
“In many cases, people may be placing their trust and money in therapies that may bring little to no benefit in combating serious ailments, or worse—that may cause significant and even irreparable harm because the products are poorly manufactured, or contain active ingredients that aren’t adequately tested or disclosed to patients.”
Why is it that segments of the public continue to trust so-called therapies that have no basis in scientific fact? There is a lack of logic in many people’s minds. They posit their trust in modern day medicine men who prey on their credulity. They need to be protected from themselves.
