> It is like you were blaming homeopathy companies for selling overpriced sugar and chalk.[1] Yes, I do. Because they make claims that stay just this side of the line of active deception[2] about the benefits of the products they produce, benefits they know are non-existent. [1] Sugar and chalk might have more effect on the body than many homeopathic remedies. Most are structurally 'distilled water', according to studies with gas chromatography. [2] and have, many times, actively crossed that line into outright deception.

re [1]: you are right - they are the holders of the active substance (which is non-existent) so their effects are going to be the only ones. There are more such substances, starting with water. re [2]: would you have some examples? For the record, I hate homeopathy with all my soul and actively fought it for years because of their unscientific claims. There were claims that were UFO-like (quantum field effects on substance energy - pick your own random words) or backed by idiots who made a science out of it (starting with Nature which published Bonaventure's idiocies and shown that they are a crappy journal like some many others). But I do not have anything handy that would show deception (as in lying)
