Oh, I am not saying there aren’t benefits to honey. It’s just been front and center on homeopathic stuff for a long time. All it likely contains, in any measurable dose, is honey. Sugar is an excellent tool for many conditions, especially when you need a distraction from mild pain. Just sugar water itself will help a cough in some case, according to some sources.
I have no problems with a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down, in any case. I am not saying the Robitussin is homeopathic, either. I am just saying that it may be deceptive it it’s own, special way. Maybe even a sarcastic jab, to go a bit further.
It’s stuff like this I am referring to: cvs.com/…/boiron-chestal-adult-honey-homeopathic-… . That stuff starts to eliminate any logic by mixing in healthy doses of magic, which I am absolutely against. (That particular link I referenced seems to use much higher “doses” than I have seen in the past. 3C or a 1:100 x 3 dilution is pure insanity!)
