...and still going
A few years ago Homeopathy was finally put to the test, the BBC accepted the one million dollar paranormal challenge on behalf of Homeopathy from the James Randi foundation and was broadcast via their 'Horizon' series. If Homeopathy was genuine the JREF would have to pay the BBC one million dollars. As expected Homeopathy completely failed the test's.
Homeopathy is complete nonsense and the sad fact that it has been around a lot longer than regulations means it thrives. However when the effects have 'reported' to have worked this has been confirmed as the simple but well documented 'placebo effect' and the medicine itself serves no other purpose....how could it? It's water.
If you are currently buying Homeopathy products for a loved one....just use the containers and fill them up with tap water, with the money you save buy them a box of chocolates or go to the pictures!!
