They are still listing 23 products from this company. Don't you think Homeovitality should have been kicked-off Amazon altogether for selling the bogus "Cancer Care" product?
As long as they are making illegal claims, selling homeopathic "remedies" (i.e. water) is perfectly legal.
If we were to ban all products that didn't do what they claimed then the whole cosmetics industry would collapse overnight.

I'd have no issue with products being required to back up their claims. After all, as bad as Big Pharma is, at least they have to provide some evidence (the fact that Big Pharma manipulates, hides and distorts things at times doesn't give 'alternative' treatments a free pass).
If you cannot provide data to support a product claim, you shouldn't be allowed to make it. At least "74% of 110 women surveyed agreed" is a (small) step beyond anecdote and "I think this is true"
This is disgusting. The active ingredient according to the page is "Acidum Nucleicum" which is Latin for DNA. Basically, they are claiming they can treat cancer with diluted DNA mixed with ethanol. The fact that they didn't just write DNA leads me to believe that they attempted to cover up what was really inside the solution.

It might be something like the way you can put "aqua" in a list of ingredients rather than "water".
There are countless things that medical science hasn't discovered. In 50 years time we'll look at medicine today and compare it to the Dark Ages.
What won't happen, however, is that a few drops of water in a glass of water will be found to be the cure for anything (apart from dehydration) although it may have a placebo effect for those gullible enough to believe in it.

Should there have been a 'not' in front of 'illegal claims' there?

Some might help. Nothing will cure.
Help lighten your wallet, certainly. Beyond that its purely the placebo effect.
An empty box with the memory of the chocolates it once contained
they should have an algorithm that would pick this up though
Woops. You are quite right,
One would have thought so..but like taxes it may not apply to Amazon

Did anyone else read that as 'blocked anus'?:o
A Pulsitilla homeopathic tincture?
Since there would have been no active ingredients, any apparent 'cure' would have been the result of:

Due to overuse of antibiotics, you may find that we're comparing medicine in 50 years time to the dark ages.
