Profit drives research. Every significant advancement made in improving peoples health and controlling/eliminating disease comes from big pharma research. And there is no industry with tighter regulatory control.

This other nonsense has zero controls and makes ridiculous, unfounded claims that bilk people out of billions.

Homeopathic industry and its acolytes make poor showing before FDA

https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org...da/#more-37751

The homeopathic industry responded in spades to the FDA’s invitation (as I imagine it will to the FTC’s) trotting out not only its own representatives, but also sympathizers from the integrative and alternative medicine communities and consumers. These greatly outnumbered the voices of reason and science, but the industry and its acolytes were impressive in number only. The vast majority of the 7,000 online comments have also been pro-homeopathy, but that appears to have backfired, for reasons we’ll get to in a minute. . . .
