FDA Seeks Power to Remove Homeopathic Medicines https://homeopathychoice.org/tell-fda/#/20/
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed new guidelines for homeopathic drugs that would give the agency the power to remove properly formulated homeopathic products currently legal under the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act which governs the FDA.
In addition, since the FDA has withdrawn its previous policy—which outlined clear steps for bringing homeopathic medicines to market—the agency has provided no clear guidance on how manufacturers should comply with the law. The results so far have been chaos and a de facto removal of an entire category of homeopathic medicines. The agency’s abrupt moves have thrown manufacturers, practitioners, consumers and, indeed, the entire homeopathy community into confusion and uncertainty.

ACTION TO TAKE by December 7 – TOMORROW! It’s Our Last Chance! Takes 2 Minutes to Send Help reach the goal of 40,000 comments! Tell the FDA that the draft guidance fails to regulate homeopathic medicines in accordance with the law. https://homeopathychoice.org/tell-fda/#/20/

Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) are emitted from electronics and other devices around you every day. From your cell phone and WiFi, to the electricity flowing along the power lines and into your home, electrosmog is a constant presence in our homes these days.
Medical research encourages us that reducing our exposures to this pollution can benefit energy, brain function, and overall health while avoiding disease. It’s easier than you might imagine to lower the EMFs in your home, and I’ll cover that in this informative presentation.
Other Topics of Discussion:
- Common types of EMF and where they come from
- Medical research on health impacts
- Updates on 5G, the fifth generation of cellular technology
- Activities of local advocacy groups raising awareness around wireless radiation in schools and proliferation of unnecessary cell towers and 5G
This informative presentation will be followed by a Q&A, plus the opportunity to purchase EMF-mitigation products and detection meters.
