What do you guys think about banning homeopathic remedies?

I assume you are referring to CODEX-style restrictions which are already in place in some EU countries. Homeopathic preparations, which essentially contain nothing, may not be subject to any such restrictions, and I have read that in some countries the only natural remedies to buy OTC are vitamin C in 60mg tablets and homeopathics. In general, such restrictions, in my view, fly in the face of individual liberty and the Constitutional rights of everyone to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness-- which includes health (the UN human rights charter explicitly includes the right to health).

At the same time, there are a lot of charlatans and hucksters out there pushing highly questionable products. The most vocal and, lamentably, popular appears to be Kevin Trudeau. Most nutritional supplements are remarkably lacking in toxicity, but several of Trudeau's recommendations could lead to death if an individual shuns allopathic medical care or more science-based alternative medicine. This being said, idiots are everywhere, and people die from improper mixing of household chemicals, frat party stupidity, playing on riding lawn mowers and other Darwin award worthy events-- and they die from these or basically any other cause at a rate far greater than from nutritional supplements. According to statistics, at least, nutritional supplements are essentially benign.

So I guess I mean to say--it is a bad idea.
