Should airport security types be on the look out for homeopathic explosives? If this can be discounted then so can homeopathic medicine & those marketing it should be treated as fraudsters. You couldn't market homeopathic Nike trainers. If homeopathic medicines could work, then why wouldn’t other homeopathic compounds?

It still works", ticket would join us if a company (Boots, for example) were found to be marketing something as "Aspirin Tablets" which had zero aspirin in them? I suspect they would be shouting from the rooftops "it's a con!", just as we are about these scam medicines. "Aspirin" tablets with 0% aspirin would work at exactly the same level as homeopathic remedies... placebo. We have historical phrases for selling something that is disguised as something else, one of which is "buying a pig in a poke". All we "homeopathy sceptics" are attempting to do is let the cat out of the bag! I wonder if the people who defend homeopathy on the, “So what if it is a placebo?
