Homeopathic meds are NOT “about the safest choice you could possibly make”!
They lack the double-blind, clinical trials to prove their safety and effectiveness. Also, many of them are not fully tested & approved by government health authorities. And they are generally not a suitable alternative to legitimate medical treatments.
Recently, Cold FX, long-promoted as a safe & effective way to prevent colds, was completely debunked. It was also proven to be dangerous when taken by diabetics, and in conjunction with certain other medications.
“Natural” doesn’t necessarily mean “safe”. There are many natural plant and chemical substances which are deadly. For example: foxglove (digitalis), belladonna (AKA deadly nightshade), sulfuric acid, and arnica (if consumed internally).
Do your homework, and use your head, before investing your hopes and your money in any alternative treatments. And never stop taking your prescribed meds without consulting your doctor first.
