It also sheds a lot of light on why the REAL problem is not being addressed.
When I first mentioned the issue of things being called homeopathy that
aren't homeopathic at all, I wasn't remotely thinking of combination
remedies, which are at least based on ideas that are recognizable as
homeopathic principles, even though they don't come up to Hahnemann's full
standard. I was thinking of products that use the word "homeopathic" to
describe something that even the most confused mixopath would not recognize
as homeopathy.

For example, I have seen a product labeled as "homeopathic" which...well, it
contained a 1X potency of some remedy or other....in addition to a variety
of allopathic and herbal ingredients, the most prominent of which was
CAMPHOR! In other words, the remedy was apparently included solely for the
purpose of giving the manufacturer a slim excuse to call the product
"homeopathic" (the greenest student of homeopathy would realize, from
examining the list of ingredients, that the product was inherently
ANTIDOTING the remedy).

As long as homeopaths waste all their energy fighting among themselves over
Organon editions and combination remedies, the manufacturers of these kinds
of products will continue to go unchallenged, deceiving the public about
homeopathy a thousand times worse than any Boiron combo could ever do (and
no, I'm not a combo user or supporter). Worrying about combos when the real
PR damage from fraud is occurring elsewhere is like trimming your toenails
when your hair is on fire.
