Hugo,

 

Thanks for giving voice to what I'm sure is the sentiments of many of us.

The FDA seeking to ban herbs (and supplements) is not paranoia, it is fact.

We need to protect our medicine and define our parameters as a profession. We

need to determine how we as a profession should interact with " managed

care " ie, insurance corporations. We need collective strength as a profession

and that means we need everyone's active participation and caring.

 

Meanwhile thanks for the discussion, for the research, for the information.

 

Warmly,
