Sorry to jump on the band-woo-gan, but what's with "FDA-approved homeopathic medicines?"
If you listen to Serius XM, you've probably heard the ads for the smoking cessation spray. You spray it on the back of your throat when you feel a craving for a cigarette, and your craving goes away. Maybe a jar full of cat urine would have the same effect, but here is what has me scratching my head about these ads; they claim that the spray is "all natural" and contains 100% "FDA approved homeopathic medicines."
So what they're saying is essentially "this is a bottle of water." And how do they get away with saying it is "FDA approved?" Oh wait...I get it. It contains "100% FDA approved HOMEOPATHIC medicines." The key word, obviously, is homeopathic. Which, translated into English, means THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO FDA APPROVED MEDICATIONS IN THE BOTTLE! Once the dilution is diluted to the dilution of the dilution and further diluted, what is left? NOTHING. A bottle of water.
This isn't the 1800's, but snake oil salesmen live on. Spray water on the back of your throat and you'll quit smoking. But you'd better pay $29.99 for this little bottle of water, or else it won't work.

barrage of snake oil of very type. Which makes me turn it off and not listen; the ratio of content to snake oil ads is essentially 50:50 it seems....sad that's what it seems to take for funding.
My mantra - if it is advertised, I probably don't want it, don't need it and won't buy it.
Bud Light. 'nuff said.
it's not like an overdose would be harmful.
