They do not regulate homeopathic solutions. From http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/cpg/cpgdrg/cpg400-400.html "Homeopathic drugs generally must meet the standards for strength, quality, and purity set forth in the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia. Section 501(b) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 351) provides in relevant part: Whenever a drug is recognized in both the United States Pharmacopeia and the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States it shall be subject to the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia unless it is labeled and offered for sale as a homeopathic drug, in which case it shall be subject to the provisions of the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States and not to those of the United States Pharmacopeia. A product’s compliance with requirements of the HPUS, USP, or NF does not establish that it has been shown by appropriate means to be safe, effective, and not misbranded for its intended use. " IOW, if the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States lists them, they can be sold, with the caveat that no representation can be made that they are "safe, effective, and not misbranded for its intended use. " Otherwise, the preparations are controlled by the Homeopathic Pharmacopeia of the United States. This is not the same situation WRT pharmaceuticals.

Prove that they regulate them. Merely listing themon their webiste is NOT proof of regulation.

I need to prove that the F.D.A. is regulating homeopathics when they state on their website that they are regulating homeopathics?

The Food and Drug Administration classifies homeopathic medicines as over the counter drugs, and therefore, their manufacture is regulated by the F.D.A.

Someone told me that, in the average 8 oz. glass of H2O, at least one molecule of it was in some animals urine at some point in time.
