Later this month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is holding a public hearing on homeopathic remedies to evaluate its current enforcement paradigm.
According to the agency, which is no friend of natural medicine, it might be time to adjust its homeopathic enforcement policy as much has changed over the past 25 years.
In 1938 when early FDA formation legislation was being proposed, then-Sen. Royal Copeland, a Democrat from New York, succeeded at exempting homeopathic “drugs” from the usual FDA drug approval process.
“In those days, FDA only had authority to require safety evaluation, but when an evaluation of efficacy was added – human trials currently cost billions of dollars – homeopathy remained exempt,” explains the Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA).
There is a possibility that the FDA might try to gain control over homeopathic remedies, which if history is any indicator could result in their removal from the market for being “ineffective” and not backed by “science.” (Related: Big Tech and Big Pharma are also trying to “de-platform” homeopathy from being available to consumers.)
