government ban on natural cures?

http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/Dietary-Supplement-Safety-Act-of-2010.htm

I've been saying for years as soon as efficatious natural cures are recognized drug companies will seek to ban them and make their own, adding an isotope or 2...and now the legislation proves that's exactly where they are headed.

kiss your milk thistle goodbye...big brother is looking out for you......not

I agree, and actually that was not my point. I still think people should treat with pharmaceuticals, it's still the best shot anyone has, albeit far from perfect.

My point however, was the imperfection, was the fact that many Rx type cure have 50, or 40 or even only a 5% cure rate....and that should give us pause, and pause to consider whether drug companies can claim the higher ground here, when in fact some of their cures work no better than their "natural" competitors.  Whether not having the high ground they should be allowed to peddle influences in order to restrain any and everything they don't have a stake in.
That's all.

MerryBe, I asked for a copy of the Bill and you responded with a copy of someone’s opinion of a 2 year old Canadian Bill (C-51 Policy Statement - Canadian Natural Health Coalition)
My heart goes out to you (this is sincere and not a cliché) but you need to provide more evidence and less emotion before making such claims.
Please post a copy of the original bill so we can come to our own conclusion. Thanks, Ricky.

I should clarify that MY comments up above have to do with the Canadian bill C-51 and only because merryBe brought Canada into this.  I have no comment on the American bill as I know nothing about it.
