Re: Here come the regulations

So you're saying that if someone comes up with a new formula for a herbal product - it's supposed to be assumed, and not proven, that it's safe even when it's known that various substances can interact with each other differently?

I don't see how this is a bad thing for the public if it means more testing of various herbal formulas to be safe or not..

Frankly if you don't have the funds to prove your product is safe, you shouldn't have the right to sell something with the claims that it will help people in various ways, when you haven't tested it and made sure whatever you added that's new isn't causing a problem..

Hopefully what this will mean is less herbs in general, and maybe some people will wake up to the fact that their lifestyle is out of order and that's what causes most of their ailments in the first place, and to stop looking for the miracle pills they have to buy every month that fills the pockets of salesmen and won't help them anyway in the long run if they don't fix their lifestyle.
