Homeopathy Pseudoscience

Homeopathy is a "medical" treatment that does not help people get well. The idea of it is to treat people with incredibly dilute solutions of purported medicines.  As ridiculous as it sounds, it is still quite popular. 

Examples of modern Homeopathy:

• Martin & Pleasance Homoeopathic First Aid Kit 

• Dr.Talbots Fever and pain reducer

It is easy to say buyer-beware, but fevers can have serious consequences. Using these treatments instead of real medicine can have serious consequences.
