Is The FDA Set To Ban Homeopathy? 

The US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) could soon start regulating and possibly banning popular natural homeopathic remedies.

The agency is considering changes that would place the same restrictions and regulations on homeopathic substances that are placed on other drugs.

“At this stage we are gathering information about whether to adjust our current enforcement policy,” Cynthia Schnedar, the director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, told The Washington Post.

The FDA held hearings on the matter this week and is taking public comments, too.

Schnedar did not reveal what changes her agency is considering. Currently the FDA merely sends manufacturers of homeopathic products warning letters if its staff thinks they are dangerous or go too far in their claims. It has sent nearly 40 letters since 1989.
