Guest guest Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 The big drug companies have already gotten their tentacles into health food stores. The herbs you buy in a health food store are all " standardized " thanks to the FDA and big pharma.........or " bastardized " would be a better word. They have been heated, contain fillers and additives, etc. The only herbs that really work are the ones you gather in the wild yourself or buy from a company that does then tincture them or make them into a tea, whatever yourself. The herbs you buy in a health food store are essentially, garbage. It is all part of big drug companies controlling and influencing everything including the FDA itself. You can get organically grown or wildcrafted herbs from: www.pacificbotanicals.com It always takes work and commitment to take charge of your own health but the alternative is to throw your health into someone else's hands who may not have your best interests in mind or may be unwittingly controlled by big pharmacartel.

How many people would read that sentence, without the foreword, in this article and not even bat an eye? How about the ideal of having pharmaceuticals in charge of the herbs and not having them in the health food stores. How about why the FDA would want to know the " active ingredient " or if there are any benefits to knowing the " active ingredient " How have we come to place so much trust in people to look after us, and their principles, when upon further examination they don't seem worthy of it?
