Homeopathy & your health rights

with Paola Brown

Homeopathy has been around for over 200 years, and it is clearly a wise tradition that many of us have explored! It is a natural, holistic way to stimulate the body’s own healing ability, and it has been used in ancient cultures worldwide!

In today’s episode, Paola Brown, the President of Americans for Homeopathy Choice, explains homeopathy in detail and elaborates on why it is a powerful healing tool. She also discusses what the FDA is doing that is jeopardizing the future of homeopathy in the U.S. The FDA regulates homeopathy and things have gone smoothly for the past 30 years. Now, it wants to withdraw its Compliance Policy Guide which could upend the industry and cause mistakes that could throw into question homeopathy’s efficacy and reputation.

Our hope is that this episode will help you gain a better understanding of homeopathy, and will make clear the importance of defending our right to it today, as a vanguard of our health rights in the future.
