FDA & FTC mull homeopathy's future

Coldeze destroys my tongue… Whenever I feel a tinge of a sore throat coming on I start sucking on some sort of zinc lozenge - don’t know if it really works, but when I don’t get a sore throat I thank the zinc.

Right, sometimes I dodge a bullet, though for all I know, this might have nothing to do with the zinc and everything to do with that particular pathogen.

I don’t believe in handing loaded weapons to children.

We each have our ideologies.

I discovered the homeopathic labeling loophole recently when looking up arnica. Homeopathic arnica has always been very effective for me, but recently I realized I don’t believe in homeopathy, so WTF? Turns out that homeopathic arnica tincture has enough active ingredient to actually be active, and one can make medicinal claims regarding it that one could not make of any non-homeopathic medicine without jumping through the requisite FDA hoops. What a nifty loophole!
