That's already a thing it's called homeopathic medicine

Fair point, but without regulations your claims can be way wilder, and you don't have to make stuff safe to ingest anymore. Overall I think quackery can become even more profitable.

(homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.

No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.
