Sqad- To get back to one of your earlier comments - yes, that encapsulates my problems with selling homeopathic remedies in a pharmacy.
Dothawkes - Your objections with Chakkas actions appear to be that it puts whole swathes of magnetic bracelet manufacturers out of work. I would be astonished if there were any significant numbers involved in manufacturing within the UK - but regardless, let them peddle their bracelets with a dubious, placebo only therapeutic value through outlets other than a pharmacy - or better still, take up the manufacture of cosmetic bracelets!
Keyplus - You may think the copper bracelet has worked,but I have my doubts. Memory ,correlation and causation are all very tricky things,easy to confuse and conflate with each other and one anecdotal story does not constitute good evidence.Of course, you are well used to making faith based decisions in the absence of evidence ;)
Mr. Veritas - Whilst I respect your experience, you council a policy of despair - A fool and his money is soon parted, you say - Lots of other products out there doing the same thing, you say - this kind of thing has always happened you say - So because of these reasons, we should just stop fighting, stop pointing out the absurdity of false claims, just ignore and accept? Thats not a position I would be comfortable with.
The general public are entitled to be protected from products that present themselves as having therapeutic value without having any objective, controlled clinical data, or indeed a clinically plausible biological mechanism to back up their claims. By all means sell them as purely cosmetic items or through ebay or somewhere like that - just not from pharmacies, which are supposedly the trusted high street medical / scientific outlet.
