001. at consumerreports.org, in "The Truth About Cold and Flu Supplements" (2017-11-30) , we're told, as reported by Rachel Rabkin Peachman:
"homeopathic remedies. What the research says: The theory behind these products—which usually bear the word 'homeopathic' on their labels—is especially dubious. It involves taking a presumed active ingredient—such as oscillococcinum, an extract of wild duck heart and liver—and diluting it to the point that it’s imperceptible. The Federal Trade Commission says that 'homeopathic product claims are not based on modern scientific methods' [...] CR’s Take: don’t bother."
hear, hear.
