There is scientific study to indicate there maybe something to homeopathy after all.

Your concerns for those taking homeopathy is misplaced.
Do you know of of a case where someone was harmed or killed by taking homeopathics?

Far too many people that do rely on pharma drugs are dying everyday.
Likely over 100,000 per year in the US alone.

Frankly this issue concerns me far more than any "danger from homeopathics."
