Homeopathy is bunk, study says

The local Pretoria based Natura Laboratories cribbed the original Bach Rescue formula (foreign brand) during sanctions against South Africa in the early 1980's. The company registered the product trademark when Bach was not trading in the country. The original Bach remedy subsequently entered SA, under a local license agreement with the local manufacturer, Vital Health Foods. Presently both fraudulent brands are traded on the market.

It occasionally works a little better than the placebo effect… which is 1 out of 2 times, if I’m not mistaken… which is pretty great.

What’s the alternative? Telling yourself it’s all in the mind does relieve any symptoms nearly as well, there’s clearly a niche for curing psychosomatic ills…

And then there’s the profound conflict of interest that capitalism has with health care… where’s the profit in healing? What’s a Hippocratic oath to a pharmacist?

Ah okay, apologies.

My SO's mother gives a few drops to the dogs when there is lightning, despite my protests. Next time I am going to swig the whole bottle in front of her, to prove it has no effect.

Fsk dude ... the cheap alcohol you would just have downed is definitely going to have an effect ... which is only going to reinforce the mother-in-law's belief that the schidt works .
By now she's probably turned her poor dogs into alcoholics so they will pretend anything to get their fix

She has that Natura one, and I posted the ingredients. I don't see alcohol as being listed (as far as I can interpret scientific names)...
