they sell this shit right next to actual OTC medication for a bit less so if you don't look close enough you might end up buying it
my dad hurt his back and we were out looking for something to help him feel better; on the shelf they had homeopathic "back pain relief" for $12. $12 for fucking sugar pills!
fuck big pharma but at least drugs usually work
I do like the history of Homeopathy though; starting in the early 1800s, the homepathic clinic began giving their tinctures (of water) to patients, and also had them stay at their nice, rural clinics getting plenty of fresh air and bed rest and food for a week or two. And when they mostly got better, wow musta been the tincture! Back to the smoggy city for more factory work! And like, the alternative was like, bloodletting, so yeah, water and rest sounds great.
Obviously, capitalism didn't wait long to strip the 'rest, fresh air and food' part of the treatment out of it though, and just left the shitty water.
Reminds me of Daniel Radcliffe's character in "A Young Doctor's Notebook" burning out and just prescribing everyone tabs or drops (presumably of asprin or ibprofen) regardless of their condition.
