UK vitamin control

July 12, 2005

I wish that the Vitamin companies would enforce their own controls of

ensuring that they have a certain amount of the product in their wares

as they claim.

The inconsistency of that is what always comes up as the big issue and

right now there is no law that can assure us that a certain percentage

of the advertised herb will being the bottle or not. And no , I am not

for standardized herbal supplements either, that means the plant matter

has been meddled with.

The rest of condemning certain herbs etc. is just a matter that will

be exploited when the other issue comes up.

My answer to all of this has been and will be " Learn what grows in your

own back yard and woods " . That can't be regulated as easily..

Yeah! in a good way....alot of the weeds that we have here in texas are

actually viable herbs... I know of at least 3 in my own back yard that

I thought were weeds until I looked closely at them...the problem is not

alot of people stop and think hmmmm I wonder if that's(insert herb)

what that is...

Dollar weed... Is the Americanized species of gotu kola (mind you a lot

of research went into finding that out, but it started with a picture

from the PDR for Herbal medicines....

skull cap

and sheppards purse grow wild around here too...

Not to mention dandelion... and on occasion I pull them up from the

ground wash them and eat them
