'Homeopathetic remedies

Then there's homeopathy. This is genuinely deceptive. The idea
behind homeopathy is quite simple. Homeopaths suggest that an
ailment can be treated with minute quantities of substances that
produce similar symptoms to those of the ailment. Quite how this
works is never explained although homeopaths no doubt want us to
think that it's a bit like vaccination where an inert form of a
dangerous infectious agent is given to the patient so he or she
can form a resistance to it.
