You are 100% wrong. There is absolutely no scientific evidence that homeopathic remedies (i.e. quack medicine) work.

There is enormous empirical evidence to the contrary. We may choose to term that as anecdotal...but if cold symptoms are relieved in a day or two after usage...it takes quite a cynic to refer to that as quackery.

Plenty of MDs still harbor ill feelings for chiropractors and call them every name in the book. It doesn't change the fact that chiropractors are often times more effective than doctors in relieving pain.

homeopathic "medications" are not controlled by the FDA and may prove dangerous.

This may be true. But the reason they are not controlled by the FDA is generally because they are so diluted as to be unlikely to be dangerous.
