The National Center for Homeopathy is slamming the Food and Drug Administration’s recent warnings and investigation regarding homeopathic teething gels and tablets, calling the agency’s moves “arbitrary and capricious.” In a statement on its website, the NCH went on to blame the media’s “exaggerated fear mongering” and “dramatic headlines” for getting homeopathic teething treatments largely pulled from the market.

The NHC issued a call to action among homeopaths to “correct misconceptions” and spread the information that homeopathy has been proven safe and effective.

“Despite these facts, groups interested in seeing homeopathy destroyed continue to hammer away at the system – making exaggerated claims that create misunderstandings about and limit consumer access,” the NCH said (emphasis theirs).
