==============================
About time this un-regulated multi-billion dollar industry be subjected to
inspection and medical evaluation of their products. There is a flood of
these so called natural products that have been proven harmful. A good
number of the natural products are now being made in China and other Asian
countries where quality control is questionable to downright disgusting.
Health safety is paramount these days in the application or ingestion of any
medicinal product whether natural or otherwise. Some combinations of
compounds are bloody dangerous.
