Re: Read 'em and weep :( Re: Organic Debate

A million pardons for posting a link about the toxins in imported herbs. My point? I thought maybe a few people might want to know that over 90% of all herbs used in products today come from imported herbs, and all imported herbs are not only sprayed with pesticides and/or gassed/irradiated on the customs dock, but also are grown in countries where there are ZERO organic standards of ANY kind.

As far as MH goes, he's already been QUITE clear on the issue. What he can grow, he grows. What he cannot grow, he refuses to tell where he gets.

I have purchased tooth powder from MH in the past; it contains cloves. Cloves is the one herb he mentioned that he purchases, but wouldn't say from where (but will say he doesn't believe in 'organics'). So I threw it away, as I will not willingly put chemical toxins if I can help it.

I made no mention of MH in my post.

My "genius" search parameters? Yes, I am very good at using the Internet as a source for information. I was hoping that the information would help someone avoid becoming ill by choosing herbs from imported countries (hundreds of people with neurological illness have worsened when taking herbs from other countries because DDT is a neuro-toxin and hundreds/thousands of people have been infected with eColi and other bacteria).

You're certainly reading a LOT into a one link-line post.
