My friend,

The article then says >

It's not a done-deal, at least, not quite. If you value your access to herbs, or if you care about access to vitamins and other supplements, please take action. Even if these issues seem meaningless to you, consider the people who do care. Should they be denied the right to the medical treatment and health maintenance of their choice?

So its NOT a done deal, and we should fight against this. What? Have we EVER been listend to? Do they ever take US and our health into consideration? No.

We dont and wont have a say on this.

Shame, a real shame that this is happening.

Grrrr.....with a capitol G

Be safe be well

S'all about the benjamins I suppose. I've been hearing of this effort for years and it seems it coming to fruition. I think this one deserves some rallying, particularly if the efforts to penalize start happening. Maybe it will be loose legislation instead of tightly enforced. What say you EU?

Peace,

ETA: "not a done deal," I wonder if this is because they know it will not fly upon implementation?

Honestly, I have been worried about this for years. Over the years I have bought several books on homepathic remedies. I started a garden and grow several types of medicinal herbs. Pretty soon only those people with access to land and this knowledge will be able to keep from being slaves to big pharma... Personally I would rather drink some hot willow bark tea than swallow an asprin any day!

I sure hope it doesn't pass, but the Big Pharma and FDA have been known to get there way......splitters

What can we do to rally against this, if anything, but voice our opinions. But will it work? Meh, I really dont know. This has been in the books for them for a few years, seems to me they are getting there way!

Or perhaps this is just fear mongering?

Be safe be well, and thanks

Many thanks indeed,

Time to grow that herb garden. Wild plants are a good source too. Eventually though, they will outlaw growing or possession of any medicinal herbs. When herbs are outlawed, only outlaws will have herbs. Long live the black market, the only free market enterprise left on earth.

I currently live in the EU and have not seen any problems with getting herbs and supplements so far. I need a glucosomine and condriten supplement that is often difficult to find so I keep a large supply around. If this does happen I guess I am in big trouble, don't see me making that for myself.

Folks, I don't see how anyone here can't see what's really going on. I'm not talking to you guys in this thread, but the general populace as a whole.

It's clear that our lives equal to nothing more then cattle for the fat cats to get richer off of. Our health and well being means naught. All that matters is that we consume, consume and of course, consume some more. Be it big screen TV's, the latest cellphone from Apple or pharmaceuticals, it doesn't matter. What matters is, is that we spend money we don't have to spend.

The big pharma groups out there don't care what their drugs do to us in the long run. As long as it looks like it's working *right now*, who cares. People will buy it, and in five to ten years (or maybe longer) start showing side effects which lead to a worse state of being which means you have to buy even more big pharma products to try to get back to your "old self".

It's not just big pharma, but the food industry as well. By lining our cans with toxic plastic linings to adding harmful additives to our food...

We're cattle. Our lives mean nothing. If we die, a hundred more cattle will take our place continuing the circle of greed.
