What this press release doesn't say is:

Restore Health recently got disciplined by the Wiscondin Board of Pharmacy for:
- manufacturing compounded "sublingual" HCG/B12 without doctor's prescriptions for individual patients.
- despite having ZERO EVIDENCE that sublingual HCG is absorbed (it isn't, as was confirmed by Restore Health's Supervising Pharmacist, Judy Rapp), they advertised that their sublingual HCG/B12 was bioavailable, and also safe and effective for the treatment obesity (that isn't true either).

So, Restore Health (who appears to have just bought Belvedere Pharmacy), is a prime example of a ROGUE COMPOUNDING PHARMACY that really is an "unlicensed manufacturer in pharmacy clothing" and "Exhibit A" of why we need a Federal Compounding Pharmacy law.
