--S-A-- [OilsHerbsEtc.] FDA Looking At Chinese Medicine

[Guest guest]

Thats called chronocentrism. The belief that people of the past were idiots.

Culture today suffers from terrible chronocentrism. Its sad, really.

Let me get this right, Chinese Herbal Medicines which have been used

successfully for thousands of years are having a hard time " proving

their effectiveness " to the FDA, the new baby on the block. The FDA

who is the most strict drug watch dog (other then when it comes to

Vioxx, vaccines, genetically modified food and food from clones,

aspertame, etc.) And the FDA would prefer to know the " active

ingredient " (so the powers that be can patent it?) when they still

don't (perhaps willfully) see that is like asking for the most

important letter of the alphabet. Come on, there has to be one

letter that can be used by itself and all the others dumped in the

bin as useless.. And our lives would be so much better, if the

pharmaceuticals got their hands on these herbs than if they are

commonly and easily available in our natural health food stores...

Things that make you go, " huh " ?
