Re: Comfrey. Your thoughts MH?

great post, Oh407!

and I LOVE SASSAFRAS!! We picked it in the woods a few times and washed and used the roots in tea. Let me tell you, the pure sassafras root actually gave me really great bowel movements!

I am very disgusted with the attitude the FDA has regarding Sassafras, comfrey and other herbs. There is much dishonesty going on.


here is a quote from that sassafras link that says it all:


Note: You may have heard that sassafras has been banned by the Food and (FDA) because it causes cancer. Drug Administration. Huge quantities have given to rats over look periods of time give the rodents cancer because they change the molecule sassafrole into a cancer-causing one. Humans don’t do this, and no one has ever gotten sick from sassafras. Sassafras was banned because there are a lot of rats in the FDA!
