Walmart has been sued for medical fraud. In a lawsuit filed in the District of Columbia, the Center for Inquiry (CFI) alleges that Walmart is, “committing wide-scale consumer fraud and endangering the health of its customers though its sale and marketing of homeopathic medicines.”

Despite CFI’s calls for tighter regulation of homeopathic products, very little has been done by federal agencies to date.

But how we got here is complicated. While consumers do lose money on “treatments” that are not proven to work and the possibility of prolonging and worsening health conditions is great, the “snake oils” of the world have always existed. But, since homeopathy grew in popularity in Germany 200 years ago, it has beenThe notion that like cures like.

The notion that the lower the dose of medication, the greater the effectiveness. This leads to many homeopathic products being diluted by water or other means And these concepts have forever been appealing to humans. That nature can cure. And because these products are deeply entrenched in our history, and they carry labeling that they are not approved by the FDA, the likelihood of CFI winning its lawsuit slim. But the filing itself has brought attention to the topic, which is also important.
