@uberbatman No. That’s not what I said, and you know it!
@Rarebear, you’d be just as upset about unethical use of western medicine, right? But you certainly would not toss your profession out the window just because some- maybe even a whole country of people- aren’t practicing ethically, would you? I didn’t think so.
The fact that the Chinese use rhino parts to make homeopathics IS unethical. But the way homeopathics are made (without rhino parts) in sanitary pharmaceutical labs such as Boiron http://www.boiron.com/en/Boiron-essential/Boiron-essential which is traded on the stock exchange http://www.boiron.com/en/Shareholders-and-investors-area/Stock-exchange-data, is considerably different. These people say they offer all their products. I have searched their website, and I can’t find any reference to rhinocerous parts. Edit: http://www.affordablehomeopathy.com/results.php I would say that outside of Asia, the use of rhinocerous parts for homeopathy is just about nil.
Your question is too broad, and tries to attack the vast majority of legitimate alternative modalities that do not harm anything other than (possibly) your pocketbook, and (probably) your pride.
@Coloma I totally agree.
