That’s like arguing cars and treadmills are the same thing. You can move in/on both of them!
Between homeopathics and herbal remedies, one is a sugar tablet (or should be unless it wasn’t made properly.) The other has been used medicinally in some form likely before Homo sapiens had even evolved. Acting like these things can all “just be regulated” is exceedingly naive. Surely you know there’s more nuance and working parts to that argument.
Oh hey, you just figured out my point… which you would have figured out to begin with if you had read the article I posted about the “homeopathic” teething remedy that gave babies seizures because it wasn’t made properly and didn’t have to be.
That’s the big point you’re holding into? This is your gotcha moment? You can’t possibly be this naive. I’m convinced you’re just arguing in bad faith. Take a break dude. There’s nothing here to be smug about. This could be a constructive discussion but it feels like you’re just stomping your feet and asking why bad things happen in the world. Have a breather. Go cool off.
No, the same thing I have been saying this entire time is not a gotcha moment.
Also, what on Earth makes you think I’m being smug? What would I have to be smug about? I’m pathetic and I’ve always been pathetic. There is nothing about me that would ever make me feel smug about anything. Feel free to have a sense of smugness over that yourself if you wish. You would be far from the first and it would not be undeserved.
I am wrong most of the time. I am wrong about more things than you could possibly ever imagine, about more things than you will ever be in your entire life.
My basic existence is wrong.
So yeah, I know it’s okay to be wrong sometimes. I’d like to be right on occasion though if it’s okay with you.
I don’t know where to start to try to explain the differences because you’re trying so hard to miss the point. They are not the same thing at all.
Again- in terms of the lack of regulation and the danger the pose, there is no difference. And again, products claim to be both.
Are you arguing that lack of regulation of these products is a good thing?

Just give it up. It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. I was wrong earlier today. Just take a deep breath and close the tab.
