That would be true if combos were actually prominent on the radar of
ordinary people. And perhaps they are in Europe (where they have a long
history of favorable usage). But here in the U.S., the average person does
not see combos at the corner drugstore (I have to drive an hour to another
city, to a specialty shop, to find combos on a store shelf, let alone real
single remedies). The average person, however, DOES see ads--in popular
national magazines, no less--for "homeopathic" products of the kind I
described. I got a piece of spam in my inbox just a few minutes ago
promoting a "homeopathic" HCG diet product. THIS is the type of thing that
the average person in the U.S. associates with homeopathy!

Worrying about educating people about the evils of combos is utterly
pointless when those are not the "homeopathic" frauds they're familiar with.
Would you teach a kid growing up in Colorado to beware of copperheads (which
they are very, very unlikely to encounter in that state)? Or would you teach
them to beware of rattlesnakes?

It seems to me that you're so focused on the "symptom" that bothers YOU,
you're completely blind to the "symptom" that is actually having the most
negative impact on the "patient."
