Homeopathic Remedies Recalled For Containing Real Medicine

Posted by timothy on from the fake-fake-vs-real-fake dept.

ananyo (2519492) writes "The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recalled homeopathic remedies made by a company called Terra-Medica because they may contain actual medicine — possibly penicillin or derivatives of the antibiotic." Diluted enough times with pure water, though, maybe these traces would be even more powerful.

    I'm not sure that the FDA recalling a Homeopathic "remedy" that claims to hold no antibiotics which actually does due to the manufacturing process, and could kill people who are allergic to penicillin is really a technical article that "nerds" would be all that interested in.

    Well other than the numerous chuckles at 'homeopathy' :shrug:
