I am not sure why the downvote. It keeps hypochondriac people away from the medical system by giving them essentially placebos. Everyone is happy.

No, you have people that think those “placebos” are real medicine and end up killing their kids because of it.

I am not aware that they do homeopathy for cancer treatment.

this is hardly a "good" outcome--hypochondriacs _should_ be interacting with the medical system; the outcome should be mental health intervention.
