Critics Claim Sprayology Homeopathic Remedies are Ineffective

By Anne Bucher

 

Sprayology lawsuitAs Americans become more health-conscious, more and more consumers are looking toward healthier options for food, household cleaners and medications. As a result, homeopathic medicine has become a multi-billion dollar industry. Consumers who choose homeopathic remedies often believe that they are choosing safe and effective treatments for ailments such as allergies, irritable bowel syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis.  

As homeopathy grows in popularity, critics are becoming more vocal. These critics believe homeopathy is a scam and that no studies have shown these remedies to be effective for treating ailments. As people become more aware that these products are essentially placebos, they are increasingly filing class action lawsuits against manufacturers of homeopathic remedies. They accuse the companies of homeopathy fraud and claim these homeopathic companies use false advertising to promote their products to unsuspecting customers.

One of the companies that have been targeted by homeopathy lawsuits is Sprayology. Sprayology manufactures a wide range of homeopathic remedies to treat a variety of ailments, including:

  • Insomnia
  • Acne
  • Premenstrual syndrome
  • Cold and flu relief
  • Allergy relief
  • Detoxification
  • Digestive issues
  • Hangovers


Sprayology claims that the therapeutic benefits of the ingredients are based on clinical evidence. Their homeopathic remedies come in the form of a spray bottle. Treatment consists of spritzing the product under the tongue several times a day. A 1.38 ounce bottle of Sprayology costs around 30 dollars. The company claims that one bottle will last for approximately one month of regular use.

Homeopathic Remedies Not Subject to FDA Safety and Effectiveness Testing

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that aims to trigger the body’s natural healing ability by treating an ailment with highly diluted substances. Many homeopathic medicines are diluted to the point that no molecules of the original substance remains in the product. Proponents of homeopathic medicine claim that these diluted remedies are beneficial because they do not have any side effects.

Homeopathic medicine is currently regulated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), but unlike conventional prescription and over the counter drugs, homeopathic medicines are not subject to FDA safety and effectiveness testing before they enter the marketplace. Homeopathic remedies do not need a prescription from a doctor and may be purchased over the counter.

Critics Claim that Homeopathic Medicine is Nothing More than a Placebo

Homeopathy has been in existence for about 200 years and is used by tens of millions of people around the world. Proponents of homeopathy insist that these remedies are far safer than conventional medicine and have far fewer side effects. Critics believe that homeopathic medicine is not scientifically proven and essentially amounts to a placebo.

    Perhaps you can tell me who you believe was protesting against the ASA and why?

    “And one last comment, Alan……..”

    Apart from your next one (#72).

    “You should have learned at least something about homeopathy before signing up with Simon Singh for this gig.”

    What do you believe is missing from my education?

    “Do you remember what I told you about my girlfriend? When she heard that you and your friends in your collaboration had gotten the ASA to prohibit UK churches from talking about healing by prayer in public she laughed…..and laughed some more. When she stopped laughing, she said “They must be crazy.” Hope you’re not going to try to claim that “It was someone else who did that.””

    I don’t know why several comments have been deleted, including the ones in which I answered you about this. However, I’ve called you out on this before and it looks like I have to do it again. You say:

    “you and your friends in your collaboration had gotten the ASA to prohibit UK churches from talking about healing by prayer in public”

    ‘We’ did not; neither has anyone else. However, please feel free to try to substantiate your allegation. And please try to use ‘evidence’, rather than hand waving rhetoric.
