You’re invited to participate in upcoming Town Hall meetings regarding the Certified Homeopathic Seal. If you make, sell, prescribe, or use homeopathic medicines and you are concerned about the future of homeopathy in America, you should attend! (For dates and times, see below.)

Leaders of the Seal project will explain who is behind the Seal project and what we are doing to support the homeopathic industry and to protect access to our homeopathic medicines.

The Certified Homeopathic Seal is meant to demonstrate to the FDA that the industry is meeting safety standards through a program that verifies compliance with those standards. This tool will be important in protecting the full range of homeopathic medicines available today from arbitrary enforcement actions. By helping the FDA gain confidence in the word ‘homeopathic,’ we will be protecting choice for everyone.

Hear panel members Dr. Ron Whitmont, Dr. Todd Rowe, attorney Betsy Lehrfeld, and industry representative Mike Evans explain this historic endeavor. The meeting is also designed to provide ample time for your questions. For more information about our panel members, see below.

We look forward to seeing you at our town hall meetings. And, please share this email with others!
