The Issue

The FDA is preparing to hold hearings on homeopathy April 20 and 21, 2015. They are going to re-evaluate homeopathy's status. Any decision to restrict availability of homeopathic remedies would negatively impact millions of consumers. 

Homeopathy is the 2nd most widely used from of medicine in the world (WHO). It is safe, effective and economical. The remedies produce no chemical side effects, have proven abilities to treat both acute and chronic ailments and cost less than ten cents a dose. They are used by board certified physicians throughout the world. Lay people have been safely using them for self limiting acute ailments for 200 years. There is no reason to change the status of homeopathic remedies.
