I don't get it. Most of the remedies listed sound exactly like those sold every day by proponents of homeopathy and alternative medicines.
Boiron, which has a stable presence in the USA, has thousands of employees and revenues in the hundreds of millions, selling stuff like "Oscillococcinum", which is plain sugar, at a price of around $1000/kg.
Have they been condemned for fraud and false advertising?
