NCH Details The Extraordinary Safety Record Of Homeopathy

The National Center for Homeopathy (NCH) has once again been leading the fight to protect homeopathy from attacks.

The FDA this week sent a Warning Letter to the makers of the over-the-counter drug Zicam over concerns the drug may effect the sense of smell in those who use it.  Zicam contains a 2X  solution of zinc gluconate along with many other ingredients.

An AP news story covering the FDA warning contained a number of points about homeopathy that were flat wrong.  NCH - working closely with the American Association of Homeopathic Pharmacists (AAHP) swung into immediate action to correct those misstatements and protect homeopathy by issuing press releases, speaking with reporters, coordinating the responses of practitioners and by posting special alerts on the NCH websites.

The facts are very simple.  Homeopathy has an exemplary safety record and has maintained that record for over 200 years.  Every government agency that tracks drug safety has verified that fact.  Consumers and healthcare professionals alike should be assured that the FDA’s action in regards to certain Zicam products, does not apply to this class of drugs as a whole.  Rather, the FDA’s advisory relates only to the nasal application of a specific zinc product.
