Homeopathy under attack: Last month, the FDA held hearings, proposing new regulations on homeopathic remedies to “shield” the public from possible harm.

Do trace amounts of mercury, arsenic and other toxic substances in homeopathic remedies pose a hazard to consumers? Is homeopathy simply based on the Placebo Effect?

What’s the difference between Classic Homeopathy administered by trained master practitioners and popular retail, over-the-counter homeopathic formulas designed for self-care? Click HERE for part 2.
