There is a perfectly simple remedy in Europe to prevent firms selling “homeopathic CDs” or similar products claiming to cure medical complaints (13 October, p 4). The prohibits advertising or selling any substances claiming to have medicinal properties unless they have a valid medicinal licence.
In the UK, refer advertisements for snake oil to your , who have the power to seize such goods and prosecute the seller or advertiser.
