    This website, called the Quackometer, is discussing the use of homeopathy potions instead of scientifically proven drugs for malaria.  In some countries malaria is epidemic. I will let you decide:

    "I have history with the Abha Light Foundation. I first criticised them three years ago when I wrote about a UK homeopath, Julia Wilson, who had joined Abha Light in Kenya – an organisation that sells a homeopathic product called MalariX. This sugar pill is used to treat and prevent malaria. It does not work – it is a simple sugar pill with no active ingredient. As such, encouraging people to use this deceptive treatment puts them at great risk from a deadly disease.

    I made a complaint to the Society of Homeopaths about what I thought was their member acting irresponsibly. They whitewashed the complaint and instructed their lawyers to get my web hosts to close me down with libel threats. When I asked the Society for an explanation, their lawyer told me to back off – this was between the Society and my web hosts.

    The Society of Homeopaths failed to shut me up. They also failed to uphold their own code of ethics. They issued misleading press releases about their attempts to investigate complaints. They told their own members to not make claims in public that they would make to customers in private."
