The claim is that homeopathic medication contains zero active ingredient, and so it can't harm you.

But just about anyone can set up a factory making this stuff, and there's not much regulation, which means we have no idea what's really in there.

Homeopathic teething gels are linked to possibly 10 deaths, and 400 children harmed. That's after the manufacturers were warned about incorrect dilution.

> Last month, the Food and Drug Administration warned parents to stop using homeopathic teething gels and tablets, which may have been improperly diluted. Yesterday the agency said it is investigating 10 infant deaths and more than 400 reports of seizures, fever, and vomiting that may be connected to the use of the teething treatments in the past six years.
