Another request…
It seems we are not quite half-way…
Americans for Homeopathy Choice is in need of 50,000 comments. It’s easy to do, just click the “Send Message” button when you click this link: Americans for Homeopathy Choice. It only takes a moment.
This time it seems they are proposing some bill language that would prevent the FDA “from taking aim at the homeopathic medicines we all use.”
I sure do hope this nonsense stops sometime soon. In the meantime, we need to do whatever we are able to do to keep homeopathic remedies available to all Americans.
Clicking the link above and the button on that link only takes a moment.
While you’re at it, please click the share button and send it to anyone on your list you think may be willing to take a moment and help us out.
Thank you for your assistance in this important matter.

Hello -- I would have to direct you to the Americans for Homeopathy Choice website for more detailed information.
From their email this morning:
The FDA's current policy (known as the "guidance") states that homeopathic medicines may be pulled off the market at any time for any reason or no reason at all. They would be considered "unapproved new drugs," even though we've safely used them for years! They've done this before - They would do it again!
While this bill language would only have an effect for one year, it's an important step in our overall strategy to protect your access to the full range of homeopathic medicines.
The proposed language in the Appropriations bill would prevent the FDA from arbitrarily withdrawing safe homeopathic medicines. The FDA will have to have a real reason such as contamination, mislabeling or improper manufacturing if it wants to take action against a product labeled as homeopathic.
As you already know, we strongly disagree with the FDA's designation of homeopathic medicines as "unapproved new drugs" subject to withdrawal at any time. We believe this designation contravenes the law.
The proposed Appropriations bill language, if enacted, will prevent the FDA from using the "unapproved new drug" excuse as the sole reason to remove medicines from the market.
I hear about this a lot - can you explain more what the bill is and how it would impact homeopaths?
