Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Mike, First, I want to remind you and everyone that there are many plants out there and just because we may not have easy access to Chinese plants doesn't mean we can't practice Chinese medicine. In fact, let them do it. Let's see how the public responds. I, for one, will be quite comfortable in my practice and in fact I would likely personally profit for such a circumstance. There are many seeds available for many of the plants you use in Chinese herbology and more and more every year. So have no fear, there will always be plants to use as medicine and there will always be people to teach others how to use those plants. P.S. Perhaps such a sinario would weed out those students some of you have been complaining about who are just looking for a job and are not moved by a calling. I understand what you are saying but would add that while you are worried about having to become licensed your access to herbs is about to be cut-off. There will not be any need for you or the herbal profession of which you speak as it will no longer exist. Our current times have created a completely disfunctional political leadership that does not care about your rights as citizens. This group in power does not follow the laws as is evident by the usage of federal funds to take out ads to convince the people that " no child left behind " is a great program or that social security is in such dire straits that we need to scrap it. Do you see my point? Laws are being manipulated, circumvented (FDA supplements act) or ignored. Until we deal with this at a political level everything else is for naught. Mike W.
