Additional business information
On September 9, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration and Federal Trade Commission sent a joint letter to the owner of Holistic Healer & Wellness Center after both agencies reviewed the business' website in August 2021. The letter notifies the business that it is in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) for marketing its Diabalance Diabetes Supplement as a drug without prior approval from the FDA. The FTC issued a Cease and Desist Demand, indicating that it is unlawful to advertise that a product can prevent, treat, or cure human disease without competent and reliable scientific evidence.
The letter cites the following claims from the business' website as evidence that the product is intended for use as a drug:
- "The key ingredients are a helpful aid to people who have diabetes and hypoglycemia"
- "We recommend people with type 2 diabetes or those who are experiencing insulin resistance to opt for this holistic diabetes treatment"
- "Works great to lower high blood sugar"
- "For those with type 2 diabetes"
Notice was given that the business must cease and desist from making any claim that a product can prevent, treat, or cure diabetes without competent and reliable scientific evidence. The business was given 15 working days to notify both agencies in writing of the specific steps taken by the business to address any violations, or to provide any reason that their products are not in violation of the Act. Failure to adequately address these matters may result in legal action.

File a ComplaintBBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this business, please let the business know that you contacted BBB for a BBB Business Profile.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.
