A company making homeopathic remedies in the US has had to recall more than 50 different products from across its range after they were found to contain actual medicine.

Terra-Medica, based in Ferndale, Washington, promises to provide “a wealth of education and high quality health products [to] holistic health care practitioners across the US”.

Yet in a series of tests by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it was found that a variety of tablets, capsules, drops and suppositories – with names like “Pleo-QUENT” and “Pleo-STOLO” – actually contained quantities of penicillin.

One more reason for me to stay away from homoeopathy. That shit could kill me, as I suffer severe anaphylactic reactions to penicillin.

Someone had to post this. May as well be me.

I'm concerned that some of the remedies may have been diluted too much, making them far too powerful to be consumed by human beings...
