Re: Nature's Sunshine = Non Organic Herbs! "help enclosed" :) Re: Need help with a Pancreas Support formula.

Your "attack" on the purity of Nature's Sunshine herbs is unwarranted and in my opinion, unscrupulous. Nature's Sunshine has been marketing the highest quality herbs since before many of the organizations who deem foods and products "certified organic" were even formed. Their herbs are meticulously tested against the highest standards for purity and potency, something every "organic" product cannot boast. "Organic" has become a status symbol and a "buzzword", just as "all natural", "low fat", "non-fat", "low sugar", "low sodium" and other "healthy" labels have become. I ask you not to be duped by the "organic" stigma. Poor quality, poor potency and poorly prepared herbs can still "qualify" to be labeled "organic" simply by adhering to certain minimum growing standards. I applaud your diligence to seek "organic". That's something me and my wife look for first and foremost when shopping for produce. But I ask you to be mindful, that the herbs that Nature's Sunshine use aren't necessarily NOT organic. As a matter of fact, batches of raw product which Nature's Sunshine rejects, may very well end up in a bottle of lesser grade "certified organic" herbal preparation.
