read this this morning and as a very new homeopath wonder what the impact on my part of the world will be but also at the same time makes me want to go out and educate others about homeopathy

Informative article, doesn't bode well for continued freedom of homeopatihic remedy availabilty in the USA. I was in a Whole Foods supermarket last week and noticed Boiron, besides having the usual 6C and 30C blue tube display, has another subset selection with 200C. Is it a wonder why someone might report adverse side effects? Especially the average consumer and store clerk who thinks, well, 200 is larger, so must be better! Boiron has much to lose if the FDA decides to get tough and regulate homeopathic remedies, which it can easily do with the confusing side effects among products that use and misuse homeopathic ingredients.

This article is just ridiculous. In one sentence homoeopathic remedies
are a hoax and no different to water, and in the next they are poisons
that cause dangerous side effects. It is very frustrating. But it does
highlight that the company producing the Zinc remedy for colds did have
some complaints and law suits about the loss of smell it is said to have
caused - and that it was left on the market is a worry.
