Guest guest Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I just spoke with a gal at Alpha and what she described to me is appalling!! Lu Hi Lu, Appalling indeed and the same thing has happened recently to Pan products in Australia. They were closed down on the pretext that a ginger travel calm product caused hallucinations. This company was one that supplied other companies as well as retail outlets and the result has been that many health food stores had to close their doors as, when they cleared their shelves of all products on the list, they had nothing left to sell. My personal feeling (paranoia??) is that there was either a 'mole' within the company who tampered with the product or (more likely) that the multi national drug companies are resenting the ever increasing trend towards alternative treatment and are using their immense power to put health food stores and the manufacturers of vitamins/minerals/herbal extracts etc out of business. Having said all that, I find many health food stores these days to be indistinguishable from a pharmacy with rows and rows of pills and bottles and little or nothing to offer that is fresh and that will help our body to help itself. The emphasis is on 'curing' rather than 'prevention' and we all know that many of these 'cures' result in disease being driven deeper into the body to emerge in an even more virulent form later on. Hmmm...on my soap box again!!! Nerys My latest books at: www.neryspurchon.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
