It’s really important to read carefully labels of anything that you buy. You won’t want any harmful ingredients entering your body.

It takes time for herbal supplements to work because of its holistic approach to healing that probes into the underlying causes of the disease; unlike the patented medicine that only treats the symptoms. Thus, its a cure in progress.

[...] you think the FDA are bad? You’ll have second thoughts when you find out that China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet [...]

I’ve also heard that the wrong part of the herb can be used, the cheapest obviously.

I suppose we should all be growing our own herbs, that way we know exactly what we’re getting.

I knew someone here in the UK who once worked as a rep for a drug company that also manufacured nutrititional supplements. She told me that they were able to offer these supplements by mail order so cheaply because they used very cheap forms of the nutrients. Most of these cheaper forms are not absorbed well. It pays to know something about the forms of nutrients you are taking and well worth paying a bit more for a quality product.

..and I agree it’s a shame that more people don’t know what they’re buying. They have every right to know.
I always tell people that natural doesn’t always mean safe and I also urge them to take a look at the ingredients on their drugs really research what goes into anything. My house is filled with books on pharmaceutical drugs along with herbs. I went back to school to receive my degree in Traditional Naturopathy.

I work in the “beauty” industry. I make natural skin & hair care products I found it appalling the amount of harmful substances that are put into seeminly safe products.

April,
I’ll check it out and I agree there should be some type of policing I just don’t think the FDA is the one to do it, lol.
I’ve read the Town of Allopath but never saw the video, pretty funny!
I really like your website!

Not a fan of this either…totally agree with Opal! According to this “plan” or whatever they are calling it these days the FDA wants to take away my right to drink tea, practice yoga, and drink juice, and grow herbs (i.e. parsley, cilantro, dill, etc.) That’s beyond getting carried away. I have so many opinions on this it’s crazy…

EVEN BOTTLED WATER?! What’s next? Our right to breathe?

Thanks for posting this and making more people aware of what’s going on…more people need to know about it
