Food hygiene and animal disease control regulations in USA and

EU ban the importation of many animal products. Such products

even include meat (not to mention pruducts not normally eaten by

people, such as hide, hoof and horn, etc), unless the slaughter

plant and the products pass standard food safety regulations of

inspection by officers authorised by the importing countries.

 

The Authorities in the importing countries argue that they need to

enforce such regulations to stop international spread of viral and

other transmissible diseases, like foot & mouth, transmissible

encephalopathies, etc.

 

Like it or not (apart from any issues of humane handling of animals,

unnecessary use of animal products where good alternatives may

exist, etc), these " Food Regulations " will be invoked more ane

more by Drug Regulation Authorities in the area of homeopathics,

glandulars and herbal medicines that contain animal products.

I don't like the idea that the FDA or other regulatory bodies pretend to know

what is best for me or those I know or sell, trade, or give to. For decades I

have been using patents with animal products that probably were close to what

they were supposed to be. No problems. Chinese Drs I have known would fly to

China to approve or verify sources of all kinds of substances; scorpion, non

cosmetic grade pearl , many things. Now, customs rifles thru everything and

delays and spoils shipments, with the lie that they are looking out for the

public welfare. Of all the true, useful crusades to choose from, they decide a

vastly safe enterprise like TCM herbology is a growing menace.

The approved abatoirs themselves consistently fail health codes and products

like poultry, fish, and beef kill and sicken thousands every month. School

lunch programs are supplied by the lowest bidders, and over 50% of these

suppliers have been fined for delivering poor quality 'inedibles' at high

taxpayer cost. We could go on and on. Yes, The fact that they should get

their own (slaughter)house cleaned and in order - but do not- and jump the fence

to dismantle an overwhelmingly wonderful human activity like herbology, should

show anyone that this is only another successful attempt at racketeering. Plain

and simple greed, hate, ignorance. Not the spirit that is looking for the best

way for people to be well. I haven't much time for internet, I wish we could

delve into the theory and knowledge/evidence gathering of this field, but am too

busy because the monsters are attacking the gates of the pure land. peace
