Figure out what product can feed on both and you'll be wealthy. I've found my niche and just need to finish implementation. The money should roll in.

Best to combine the two. Sell complimentary / alternative medicine. It's a win-win for you and a lose-lose for them. Which equals a win-win for darwin!

I know so many people who are getting into this right now. I find it kind of dangerous that people are seeking medical advice from someone with no training whatsoever.

Tell them they'd get better medical advice from a toddler with a Fischer Price medical bag.

I heard today about a guy who died because his "homeopathic medicine" advisor told him to put honey on his gangrenous foot wound. If he had even gone to a real doctor an hour before he died, he would have had a chance of living, and if he had gone a day before, it would have been almost certain, according to the neurologist commenting on the story.

Insecurities. People can become informed, thus avoid continual scams (well...some people)

To a much larger degree, it's tough to overcome inborn insecurities.

I believe honey is good in a pinch for sealing up a small, or maybe somewhat large wound. It's a pretty old remedy, anyway. Used for centuries on the battlefield.

But anyone who advises someone else to apply it to a gangrenous wound should be shot.

There's a world of difference between using something sticky as a glue and using it as an antibiotic or to cure gangrene. I wouldn't recommend using it to seal a wound either given that honey can carry botulism IIRC, which is why they recommend that you don't feed it to infants.
