black market anyone? this is just interesting.. i wanna know how many of their pharmaceuticals are derived from many of the herbal remedies they will ban.

bet they want the fillers in there too. what good is medicine if you take it and dont need more? thats their view

whats funny is that each member state can choose if they want to comply with EU "laws" or not ,

the herb shops will still be around , trust me , and if the britts can sell "drugs" as bath salts whats gonna stop them from selling medical herbs just as herbs or as novelty items,

i also saw this on the BBC and i honestly cannot tell you how angry i got!

I personally do not use herbal remedies but i love natural treatments rather than the big pharma crap. And what's worse, i mentioned this to my dad and he said what does it matter, we don't use them. Clearly he can't see what is happening here, it's like the quote....

"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me."

only there taking away things that may not affect you now, but it's a small stepping stone towards something that will affect you. Big time!

Just buy them online...

Simples!!!

Exactly, not sure about the story, but the medicine industry know all medicines are out there in the wild to cure all, and this just stinks. They keep so much info away from people.

Just think of the money you will save by not buying rubbish like so called "medicinal herbs"

this is so wrong since im a firm believer in herbals ...

wtf is wrong with them.. , i guess its a vain attempt to hide real cures and make more money for the drug companys

Herbal remedies, Ayurvedic medicines are the oldest forms of healing known to man
This is not just banning herbal remedies, it's banning hundreds of centuries of ancient culture

It is not the role of govt. to tell you how to heal yourself, it's the role of a doctor to try and convince you how you should heal yourself and it's your role to do your homework.

Pfffth.. And a two-finger salute to the idiots who made that law.
Stupid westerners thinking their "modern" medicine with its short history and numerous negative side effects is more effective than TCM (traditional chinese medicine) which has over 5000 years of documentation behind it and doesnt have the negative effects.. Damn glad am not in the west wouldnt be able to work due to such idiotic laws.. Lmao you can bet that in the china towns in western countries it will be ignored.

Not quite that simple in TCM (traditional chinese medicine) as treatment is tailored to the patient after a thorough exam by physician. To attempt to do so without proper examination would be disastrous and possibly even fatal. Its not like western medicine with its "one size fits all" approach.. Also the herbs used must be properly measured and mixed prior to being administered. Takes years of study to become a practicioner of TCM. Thus not viable to just "buy online"

And so it should.

Pharmaceuticals are specifically designed to make you sick in the future. Every business wants their customers to keep coming back - there is no exception.

What they give you as "medicine" is actually poison. And they even rub it in our faces:



I have heard that the official explanation for this bizarre logo is "combatting one toxin with another".

Gee. Really healthy, hey...

I read somewhere that this will affect the U.S. because of some kind of EU dominion or what not, I forgot where I read it, but is this true?
