Guest guest Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Hey Karen, This is not a first. If anyone is intersted they can even google more information on the bills to regulate herbs and supplements. I do not disagree with a uniform standard, as different parts and amounts and strentghs can vary by the part of the plant that is used how it is grown , how it is processed etc... BUT I do not want the FDA to get a hold of my herbs! Especially to be told I cna purchase them , because they are not regulated or have no merit in the value of one's health in the evaluation of the FDA. Some of the idea to regualte is in protection of the public, however some is in full effort against the self healing (non medicated) healing that people have become pro -active in themselves, leaving out the doctors and pharmaceuticals. Good for people bad for medical and pharmacy professions.( Alot of wonderful people work in these fields, I am not trying to demean them !! I am just saying that drugs are not good for our bodies) Blessings!
