FDA Compliance Policy Guide 7132.15, issued in 1988, states that "nonprescription homeopathics may be sold only for self-limiting conditions recognizable by consumers . . . [Their] labeling must adequately instruct consumers in the product's safe use." However, the guide warns that compliance with its requirements "does not establish that [a product] has been shown by appropriate means to be safe, effective, and not misbranded for its intended use."

Unfortunately, the bar set for homeopathic and herbal preperations at the FDA is *not* the same as the one for real medicine. This is a case of the government letting us down. Too bad, really. On top of all the *other* problems with the FDA, they are actively participating in the homeopathic scam by putting their seal of approval on homeopathic preparations - leading people to think they are somehow tested for effectiveness.
