I haven't been following this discussion closely but those who will pull
people into line in the future about what is homeopathy and what isn't
are the consumers.
The current product confusion between standard homeopathic remedies and
complexes of all sorts has been created by manufacturers. It is not
something that is accepted, encouraged, or supported by the educated
consumer.
Once consumers know the difference between a homeopathic remedy and a
combination remedy they become quite strident about wrong labelling. All
it takes is a little education.
Those who want to have 'different types' of homeopathy will be
eventually be pulled into line by these consumers who, once they know
the difference between a standard remedy and an anything goes complex,
and once they start advocating for homeopathy, they are like reformed
smokers - there are no shades of gray. They and the skeptics will sort
the situation out.
Kind Regards,
