Question 6 (Multiple Choice Worth 10 points)

How is "homeopathy" different from true science and real medicine, and thus should be considered with caution?

 Homeopathic treatment methods have not been subjected to the same rigorous scientific and FDA standards as most modern medical practices and treatments.
