Homeopathy had No Place in Pharmacy: Canadian Pharmacist

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

85. If homeopathy actually worked, even for some things sometimes,

Big Pharma would have been all over it years ago; they'd have been selling the stuff at monstrously inflated markups and making a fortune. And some scientists would have published peer-reviewed articles based on blind studies and lots of data, and if homeopathy were proven through legitimate research to cure cancer, or even the common cold, they'd have got a Nobel Prize. But even Big Pharma won't sell products unless they've been tested and at least sort of work - the problem with the big drug manufacturers (apart from price gouging) are not that their drugs don't work - mostly, they do - it's that some of them have nasty but undisclosed side effects. So if homeopathic "medicine" were provably useful for anything, seems to me that Merck and the other big drug companies would be capitalizing on it. But they aren't. QED.
