f people had any REAL concern for others' health .. instead whining about foolish use of GRAS (generally recognized as safe -- and for GOOD REASON) herbs & such... focus that brain on something of HUGE worldwide urgency:
The massive epidemic of pharmaceutical medical created DEATH and illness !
Iatrogenesis (doctor / drug created illness) is, in the U.S. the 3rd direct leading Cause of Death !
Not that is something to THINK about !
If one also were to spend their time thinking about things that $pharma wouldn't pay them for thinking about .. they might also think about the fact that it is estimated that less than 10% of medical malpractice is accurately reported .. approximately 90% is covered up .. which means that in actuality the modern medical $pharma drug system is the leading direct cause of death in (probably all) industrialized nations .. and by that same token is directly responsible for vast amounts of human suffering; incredible wastage of human resources, not to mention the predatory financial effects of this broken system.
THINK on that.
The importance of someone's clearly biased (and very likely purchased, as $pharma is widely known for doing so out of a budget exceeding $20Bn USD annual) comments, opinions, and outright disinformation totally PALES in the face of the fact that this same someone is a mouthpiece for one of the world's largest killers of humankind.

$pharma drugging is a leading cause of death and illness.

Take your pick from one of any of the OTHER medical systems which $pharma has in it's gunsights (my favorite is homeopathy)-- you can BET YOUR LIFE that if $pharma hates it, there is only ONE REASON: it works, and is therefore a threat to the $300Billion per year which the $pharma industry currently takes from people under the FALSE PRETENSE of offering hope & health.
