FDA attempt to keep proposed CAM Guidelines under radar fail; deadline for public comment extended to May 29:NewsTarget.com

Following widespread criticism by the public over proposed CAM Guidelines that the agency tried to slip under the radar, the Food and Drug Administration has now extended the deadline for public comment from April 30 to May 29.

The proposed regulatory guidelines represent a new era of thinking at the FDA and describe the agency's intentions to regulate herbs, functional foods, therapeutic oils, nutritional supplements and even physical devices such as massage rocks as either "drugs" or "medical devices." The guidelines have been widely described as a brazen FDA attempt to destroy naturopathy and alternative medicine.
