But homeopathic medicines are so diluted, they often end up not even containing the original ingredients.

I guess I was wrong. Homeopathy does save lives.

one of the biggest problems with homeopathy are products like zicam which are NOT homeopathic and yet call themselves such.

The reason why i say it is a problem is things like this that actually have an active ingredient give credence to other homeopathic "medicines" which have no real ingredients. and helps foster this madness that a placebo is better than active treatment.
