Well, the folks in the USA are facing a really interesting one....
Seems that even though the Federal Government has (though the FDA and
recognition of the HPUS) accepted that homeopathic remedies are
*medicine*, Customs is not convinced.
Customs decided, all by themselves, that anything under 4X is a
medicine and anything over is either *sugar* or *alcohol* and will be
taxed as such upon importation.
The Homeopathic Pharmacies are fighting it, but a few have given up
because they were tired of banging their heads against the Federal
bureaucracy. Boiron is continuing the fight.
On your second point, since the HPUS describes the method of
manufacture of a homeopathic drug product, and since radionic
machines are NOT described in the law, any remedy made by radionics
*and SOLD with the label "homeopathic"* is subject to legal action,
since it is being marketed "falsely."
OK for the doc to make it and give it, but NOT to sell it.
One pharmacy was already nailed on this a few years ago.
As to "work just the same"... that would have to be proved. How to do
that when they (govt) have problems with the genuine article?
