Following is a copy of an email I sent to Nature's Sunshine 12/09 - I received a reply promptly, and will post the results and more information when I have more time.  Just fyi, these questions were NOT answered to my satisfaction.  Uny

Greetings -

I am a natural healing coach and website forum owner.  Recently I was asked about the quality of your herbal products - came to your website, and cannot seem to find the information I am seeking.

When I do a search on the word "organic", I find 11 products (oils).  My questions:

--What percentage of the herbs you utilize in your products are certified organic (and/or wildcrafted)?

--Of those that are wildcrafted (a common herbal scam, as very few plants grow in 'fields' where hundreds/thousands of pounds can be harvested at a reasonable cost), what percentage of those do you have some type of certification or guarantee that they are wildcrafted?

--What percentage of herbs you utilize are grown in North America?

--What percentage of herbs that are imported are certified to be pesticide/herbicide free? irradiation before processing in the shipping process?

--Do you have, and are you willing to provide proof of these certifications to your buyers?

--Do you have a list or other type of document that clearly indicates the various growing conditions of the individual herbs you utilize (certified organic, wildcrafted, pesticide/herbicide/irradiation free)?  

Just fyi, a copy of this inquiry and your response (or non response) will be posted publicly on my forum.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
