I think the issue is really the fact that there are SOME medicines on the market that market themselves as 'homeopathic' and aren't particularly well-regulated. Like with many things, some things just slip the net and jump on the bandwagon in order to reap the profits without giving the benefits. There is a lot of rubbish sold in Boots and other pharmacies that the NHS wouldn't dream of wasting money on, and I think that is the point.
