As the Queen celebrates 60 years on the throne (and what an achievement that have been thinking about choices and wondering how much do we really decide things for ourselves?
I have always believed that having a choice between different options gives us freedom. However, at the moment our freedom to choose homeopathic medicine for our health care is under threat. Please follow the following link and sign the petition
urging the health minister to allow homeopathic medicines to be ordered via the telephone and internet and to be dispensed for homeopathic patients by homeopaths.
Thank you for your support, you are among the 6 million people in the UK who choose to use homeopathy for the benefit of themselves and their families.
Hope that you all have a lovely Jubilee Weekend.
Wishing you all a happy week
Bye for now

You've been misinformed. The "freedom" to supply/obtain unregistered homeopathic medicines, except face to face in a registered pharmacy, has never existed.
ReplyDeleteThe consolidated Medicines Act changes nothing. And it can not be changed to exempt unregistered homeopathic medicines because the issues related to EU Directives that define homeopathic medicines and place a duty on Member States to ensure that unregistered homeopathic medicines do not come onto the market. This was lobbied for by the European manufacturers.
They can be obtained, by clients, via the telephone and internet from Germany without problems.
The UK homeopathic pharmacies chose not to register very many homeopathic medicines. If they had, this problem would not be as severe.
