Current FDA regulations of homeopathic medicines
Many homeopathic medicines are sold over-the counter. The FDA has now decided to reevaluate their “regulatory framework.” After sending out a safety alert concerning a homeopathic remedy for asthma in March 2015, the FDA then sent out a notice of public hearing. The hearing has been set in order to: “…obtain information and comments from stakeholders about the current use of human drug and biological products labeled ashomeopathic, as well as the Agency’s regulatory framework for such products.”
Current homeopathic regulation of homeopathic medicine by the FDA
The FDA currently recognizes the homeopathic Pharmacopeia along with other drugs labeled USP. A NGO called Homeopathic Pharmacopeia Convention of the United States (HPCUS) has been regulating and monitoring the 1200 included (monographed) homeopathic remedies since 1897. In 1972, the FDA decided to “defer” review of homeopathic medicines based on their “uniqueness.” Because of this, there are no FDA safety reviews required for the sale or manufacturing of homeopathic medicines. In 1988, any “drug products” labeled as homeopathic have been able to be sold and manufactured without FDA approval, based on their Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) published that year. Compliance Policy Guide (CPG) 400.400 entitled “Conditions Under Which Homeopathic Drugs May be Marketed” (see 53 FR 21728, June 9, 1988).

These sick bastards want to regulate homeopathic medicine, but
promote GMO’s….
WTF is wrong with this picture.
Nothing, from THEIR point of view.
Depopulation.
Codex Alimentarius.
Yeah right!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codex_Alimentarius
More and more control over our minds and bodies and lives. Electronic medical records, proposed adult vaccine schedule, measles and ebola “outbreaks,” forced purchase of health insurance, control of the mainstream media, rigged voting on GMOs, infiltration of freedom and health promotiong activist groups, the divide and conquer strategy, the false “choices” between two bad things, the poisoning of our water and food system, the man-made drought and weather affecting crops, the government persecution of raw milk farmers and consumers, medical kidnapping of minors to force drugs on them (psychiatric, chemotherapy, etc.), all of these tactics and more.
The irony of forcing people to buy a product (Obamacare) they neither want nor can afford, while proposing to outlaw or restrict access to an affordable treatment (homeopathy) that many people do want. What harm does it cause anyone, to allow people health freedom? The harm is to our psychopathic masters who want absolute control: that we slaves retain a little freedom, not completely broken nor entirely controllable. That’s not enough. Total control is and always has been the goal.
Well said EE.
I forgot to mention GMO cannabis. Well, others can add to the list 🙁
They’re gonna do whatever they wanna do, regardless of the amount of emails, phone calls or other communications.
Just sayin…
