(NaturalNews) Barack Obama’s Left-wing federal bureaucracy continues to become more tyrannical, even as the man is on his way out the door – giving a good indication of just how tall an order it will be for President-elect Donald J. Trump to “drain the D.C. swamp” as he has pledged to do.
In recent days the Federal Trade Commission actually ordered all makers of homeopathic products to include labeling that states they don’t actually work – an unbelievable requirement, considering there was no such order sent to Big Pharma firms for their many questionably effective treatments.
Once again, the federal government is picking winners and losers based on who has more political clout in D.C.
Mind you, the homeopathic market in the U.S. is massive. As reported by the UK’s Independent, it is estimated that Americans spent $3 billion in 2007 alone on such treatments and remedies essentially created in 1796 by Samuel Hahnemann.
But now, Obama’s bureaucracy is attempting to drive a stake in the heart of an extremely popular industry – and one that millions of Americans rely on for their health (and should be free to choose if that’s what they want). In a public notification, the FTC is ordering makers of homeopathic products to prove they work and are effective, or state that there is “no scientific evidence that the product works.”
Government now deciding all Americans should only trust ‘modern’ medical industry
The notice added: “Homeopathy, which dates back to the late-eighteenth century, is based on the view that disease symptoms can be treated by minute doses of substances that produce similar symptoms when provided in larger doses to healthy people.” full story
