Second homeopathy isn't dangerous - call it that and you will be the boy who cried wolf (I'm in a fable mood today I see).

And third it's not really a scam, it's a placebo. Placebos work very well, and there is an unfulfilled place for them in medicine. (Sorry, can't think of a fable for the third point.)

People who believe in it choose it over medicine that might actually work. If you've got a cold (and you're not in precarious health), no harm done.

Otherwise, here's a list (including deaths) that actual medicine could have done something about ; http://whatstheharm.net/homeopathy.html

And these safety incidents aren't accidents -- they're an inevitable consequence of people taking unregulated substances as if they were medicines. When people swallow these preparation, or drop them in their eyes, or shove them up their nose or their ass, I don't think it occurs to them that nobody has checked whether this is a safe thing to do. I think they should be made aware of this.

No. It is a placebo. And a very effective one. People don't realize how effective placebos actually are.
