(Fwd) Alert re disappearing herbs for animals also!

April 13, 2004

Hi All,

See this, from Dr Mona Boudreaux, a veterinarian, acupuncturist

and herbalist. She distributes herbs and formulas for animals, and

is feeling the impact of the FDA's ban.

Best regards,

Phil

Hi Colleagues, As an herbal distributor, I will tell you that what he

is saying is happening faster than we know it.

Common formulas like Banxia Baizhu Tianma Tang, Chaihu Jia

Longgu Muli Tang and many others are no longer available to

purchase through most companies.

We as veterinarians are still able to use them, but we purchase

these products through the human companies. The company I deal

with is reformulating many of the formulas, yet also discontinuing

many formulas.

In calling many of the companies 3-4 weeks ago Banxia was sold

out because many human herbalists have stocked up on their

products.

If, as veterinarians, we think this won't affect us much we are

WRONG. FDA also is pushing that we will not be able to custom

make formulas to sell. We will be able to sell it to our clients (short

term), but as a distributor I will have to sell you the ingredients and

you will have to make the formulas yourself. (until they stop that

too) Just my two cents. Dr Mona Boudreaux
