@totakeke And naturpoaths aren't that altruistic either - I see lots of them with big houses a stable of arabian horses etc as well. And the companies that make all those "natural" supplements that are prescribed aren't doing it for free as well.

@Jeraminal (clarification of "there aren't any "CVS brand equivalent"s on the shelves at all": obviously there are plenty of CVS brand equivalents of the things that work)

@Jeraminal lives halfway between two CVSes.
if i go 2 miles to the west the shelves have plenty of homeopathic "remedies" (prominently displayed right next to their cheaper CVS brand equivalent). but if i go 2 miles to the east there aren't any "CVS brand equivalent"s on the shelves at all, and the homeopathic shtuff is there but hard to find.

@MegaAstrodude - you are absolutely right about the retailers profiteering (but please see my followup comment for an anecdote) and you are also correct in saying that these "remedies" work exactly as well as water and yet people still purchase them.
but i wasn't talking about that... i was responding to the absurd conspiracy theory that 'pharmaceutical companies know that homeopathy works' (to paraphrase). obviously they know how ineffective it is, and that's why their focus is elsewhere.

Homeopathy is a huge business and many pharmacy companies sell homeopathic products. CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and others carry homeopathic remedies just because people buy them. They don't work. The pharmacists will even tell you they don't work if you ask them, but people still buy them.

@elohelreh And now I'm sad. I was looking forward to learning something new, but I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.
Evaluating proof claims is a difficult process, but it can be fun. But when those claims involve medical treatments it can become a matter of life and death. Please, everyone, treat it seriously.
Sorry for sounding trollish. I didn't mean to. Best of luck to you!
That study is just one of MANY MANY controlled studies that have proven that homeopathy works. The problem is that you never hear about them on the news, why!? Because of MONEY! Money rules the world and it rules the media. The pharmaceutical companies have such a stranglehold over our media - every commercial segment on any network usually contains at least 1 pharmaceutical ad.
Pharmaceutical companies do not want to lose customers or money, so you will never hear about the truth on TV.

@totakeke Could you please update the Wikipedia page on Homeopathy to include references to these MANY MANY controlled studies you talk about.
Wikipedia is the first source that most people turn to when researching Homeopathy. If the information there is wrong, why don't you correct it?
