Any medical claims at all means it's regulated under one class or another.

Yeah you can see how careful marketers are about their claims by looking at the language in "natural male enhancement" ads and "HEAD-ON! Apply directly to forehead!" They're counting on yokels to make the inference that "male enhancement" means "boner" and "apply to forehead" means "works on headaches."

In a way this reminds me of the time I went into a gas station and saw the clerk and a customer looking at a pack of Nat Sherman cigarettes. The clerk pointed to the label that said "NO ADDITIVES." "See," the clerk said, "it says "NOT ADDICTIVE."

"Ohhh," said the customer.

It sounds more like he's talking about naturopathy. Homeopathy is specifically the theory of dilution and nothing else. And naturopathy is lousy with belief in it, but covers other things as well.

Yes but generally when you sign up for the SCCA officials do not say "this is medicine it will heal you."
