![]() ![]() I was curious to know whether the companies had been in contact with the MHRA, and last week I received a response to a Freedom of Information Act request asking for copies of any correspondence. The most vulnerable points in the supply chain are the major homeopathic pharmacies, companies like Ainsworths, Helios and Nelsons who manufacture the bulk of remedies supplied to British homeopaths, and against whom complaints were made to the MHRA by Simon Singh's ' Nightingale Collaboration', a skeptic campaign organization.Īndy Lewis has been documenting the panicked responses of companies like Ainsworths, who have belatedly called upon their customers to lobby MPs - fairly futile as UK law is in line with an EU directive that would also need amending. The MHRA regulate homeopathy, and they are obliged to enforce the law if they receive complaints. God forbid that regulation should get in the way of the Coalition's fetishism of free choice.įortunately it turns out that the government don't really have a choice in the matter. ![]() This would constrain consumer choice and, more importantly, risk the introduction of unregulated, poor quality and potentially unsafe products on the market to satisfy consumer demand ![]() ![]() If regulation was applied to homeopathic medicines as understood in the context of conventional pharmaceutical medicines, these products would have to be withdrawn from the market as medicines. At the time the government protested that: Helios Essential 18 Remedies contains some of the most common homeopathic remedies (single source) and comes with a remedy finder booklet to give you dosing guidelines and enough remedy information to get started using it right away.We only have the Society's description of that meeting, but it fits with the Coalition's rejection of Parliament's homeopathy 'evidence check' - short version: "We checked, there wasn't any!" - almost exactly two years ago. Instead of masking or suppressing symptoms, homeopathic remedies are thought to encourage the self-healing abilities and are completely non-toxic and safe for all ages. Many, many clients of mine have used remedy kits in their home with great results and they like the independence it gives them when treating a mild complaint. The Helios Essential 18 Remedies kit has a long shelf life and is the best value for money per dose. One remedy will rarely do for another and in many parts of Canada all that’s carried in the health food stores is Arnica and maybe a few other remedies. The biggest barrier to Canadians using classical homeopathy is access to remedies. Over the last 18 months I have been working with Helios Homeopathy to license a homeopathic remedy kit especially for Canadians and shipped direct from Canada- Helios Essential 18 Remedies Since starting my studies back in 2004 in London, I have ordered all my stock for my practice from Helios Homoepathy in the UK. ![]()
