/oss/taxonomy/term/3201/all en /oss/article/health-quackery/oil-oregano-alternative-yet-not-homeopathy <p>Before a television appearance this week to promote my new book, “A Feast of Science,” the producer asked if we could address “homeopathic drugs, like oil of oregano” that I discuss in the book.

A far too common belief is that homeopathy encompasses all sorts of remedies that are not mainstream, ranging from acupuncture to herbal remedies. This is totally incorrect.</p> Thu, 17 May 2018 19:01:43 +0000 Joe Schwarcz PhD 7094 at /oss
