>There is nothing dangerous in homeopathy
Some of the pills are made using toxic fillers. It's not enough I'd panic over, you can get the placebo effect without ingesting anything shady/expensive.
- dr_dshiv 5y agoDo you have a source for homeopathy being made from toxic filers? I’d hypothesize that the more expensive the pill, the better the effect.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoI can't find specifics about homeopathic fillers, but any pill not regulated by the FDA is likely to use cheap fillers that are often toxic. Vitamins are where you commonly hear about this, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_food_and_dietary_supplements_by_the_U.S._Food_and_Drug_Administration#Dietary_supplements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_food_and_dietary... I did find this, https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/10/fda-homeopathic-teething-gels-may-have-killed-10-babies-sickened-400/ https://arstechnica.com/science/2016/10/fda-homeopathic-teet... which shows there is some risk, though again you're most likely fine. >I’d hypothesize that the more expensive the pill, the better the effect. For you, sure. For your daughter, I bet your confident recommendation is the most important aspect.
