That is indeed a lovely scam, and much more subtle than colon cleansing.
That is exactly why homeopathy should at least be under FDA regulation. After all, they are prescribing treatments and medications, just like a legitimate physician, yet they have neither license nor formal education in the field. As healers go, they make pretty good used car salesmen.

| Pffffttt! Colon cleansers? How stupid can people be? Everyone knows that if you want to detoxify all you need to do is stick magic pads on the soles of your feet. |
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Someone refresh my memory: Didn't we take this footpad scam apart some years back? I dunno. Maybe that's a brawl I got into somewhere else.
Amazing, is it not, that people who can actually feed themselves fall for these things.

An intersting and informative article from WebMD.
Natural Colon Cleansing: Is It Necessary?
The practice of natural colon cleansing dates back to ancient Greece. In the United States, cleansing the colon -- the large intestine -- became popular in the 1920s and 1930s. But when the theories behind it lost support, it fell out of favor. Recently, though, colon cleansing -- using, for example, teas, enzymes, or colon irrigation -- has experienced resurgence.
Is colon cleansing good for you? Does anyone really need it? To a certain extent, the jury is still out. That's because researchers have devoted little study to colon cleansing. For now, here is some information that might help you decide whether colon cleansing is for you.

But I don't have the energy right now to dig up a link. |
