Riesiger Betrug: Hersteller sollen homöopathische Medikamente gestreckt haben

Munich (dpo) – It is probably the largest pharmaceutical scandal in the history of the Federal Republic: Apparently several pharmaceutical manufacturers have stretched homeopathic medicines on a large scale. The preparations were specifically sprayed with cheap extenders such as sugar and water.

A team of scientists from the Technical University of Munich subjected numerous products from well-known manufacturers (including Hevert, Dr. Zinsser, Arcana, Weleda) to an extensive laboratory test. The shocking result: practically all of the homeopathic medicines examined were so diluted that not a single molecule of active ingredient could be detected.
