I very rarely get involved in this sort of thing but I think this one is worth thinking about.
Here is an explanation, in language that anyone can understand, about why homoeopathy is bunkum.
Boots, the most popular high street pharmacy in Britain, sells homoeopathic "remedies" in spite of having admitted that they know them to be useless. Even the meanest snake-oil salesmen usually at least put a drop of whisky in the stuff. If people want to buy remedies that do nothing then let them, but they should buy them from the quacks and conmen who have always tried and will always done his kind of business (sincerely or otherwise), not from a reputable organisation which has no business selling it beside proper medicines as if it has a genuine medical benefit.
It's a matter of trust. Once they sell one thing that has no medical benefit, that they know has no medical benefit and that is simply a way to get people to hand over money for nothing* then how can we possibly trust that anything they sell is any use?
Anyone who wants to register their feelings about this with Boots can do so here.
(*Of course it's much worse than that because while people are treating themselves with this quackery they are NOT treating themselves with anything else that might actually be beneficial.)
