That herbal supplement may not be what you think it is, scientists find

302. yes, keep on making sweeping, entirely unsupported statements & maybe they will magically come true

Your sweeping statement about my post is frankly, worthless.

Nothing of any meaning or value can be gained from your outburst. You talk like a TeaBagger, loaded with opinions but lacking in any basis for them. Perhaps the basis for you opinion is an economic one. That is, perhaps you work for a pharmaceutical firm (I would say this is a safe bet), or have relatives who do. The supplements industry has the pharmaceutical firms concerned as they are beginning to supply people with good products which help keep people healthier longer.

But, as I said in my comment. These supplements are really for taking BEFORE you get sick - to reduce the likelihood of getting andor the severity of a given chronic conditions (arthrerosclerosis, osteoarthritis to name a couple). If you are seriously ill you must see a competent Physician (BTW, it is also the case that you have to use care in selecting a physician as their quality is not assured and varies too) and it is likely you will need to take some pharmaceutical products to get better. Once you are in the acute stage of an illness, you probably will need pharmaceuticals and perhaps, in some cases, even surgery to get better.


[font size="3"]I pointed out that the study you referred to found that two out of twelve companies passed their tests: [font size="3"] "two of the companies provided authentic products without substitutions, contaminants or fillers"[/font]. I stated that therefor one can conclude that there are quality suppliers out there, but you have to be discerning in picking who you buy from.

BTW twelve isn't exactly a large sample, plus we don't know if it was a random sample or did the pick some obvious suspects and added in a couple quality suppliers so as to not be too obvious re bias in sample selection. I said there certainly are bad players in that industry but the presence of the two companies which "provided authentic products without substitutions, contaminants or fillers" shows that if you look for them, there are quality companies you can buy from.
