• some of them are harmful
• I believe that herbal remedies should be tested
• some herbal remedies are harmful to certain medical conditions
• They are just as potent as most prescription meds!!
• The key word is "remedies", which implies a medicinal usage and not merely flavoring for food items.
• The manufacturers and their spin game about your rights! They have the most to lose with reulation!
• The manufacturers are the real crooks here with big profits to lose if they are regulated!
