There has been a new study released which claims that herbal supplements are not filled with herbs. Apparently 30% of companies have duped those of us who believe in a naturalistic, holistic way of healing.
I have a problem with this study. First of all most of the herbs I take are highly effective in eliminating any health problems I have.
I use Swanson’s health products for most of my herbs because they are cost effective and they work.
Second the study says that some of the companies are putting little to no actual active herbs in the pills. They don’t say which 30% it is though. They do not name names.
In other words this study is a worthless piece of crap which does nothing other than to heighten people’s fears regarding a natural way of living.
Propaganda like this is what people like my mother feed off of. They entice people who have no scientific knowledge to attack those of us who do and they nurture those who are histrionic in reaction.
Whoever did this study needs to come out with the actual companies who are fraudulent and name names. Until they do that this is not a study worth reading or paying any attention to.
In response to this worthless study I am going to write a promo for my favorite herbs and supplements.
Herbs and supplements which have helped me overcome health problems for me and my family are as follows:
Echinacea- I flood my body with this herb if I get a sore throat that is threatening to be a cold. I take 5-10 pills on the day when the sore throat first appears. Many times the cold does not develop.
Goldenseal- the only natural antibiotic and one of the few antibiotics that is effective against MRSA. I flooded my son’s body with this before he had a surgery for his broken collar bone. His stupid surgeon had not given him a prophylactic antibiotic and he had had two outbreaks of MRSA while living with his Dad prior to the surgery. After the surgery I put him on a maintenance dose of 2 pills twice a day x 1 month to put the MRSA into remission. He said in addition to not having an MRSA resurgence this also cleared up all of his acne.
I also used Goldenseal to cure my other son of strep throat because his Dad was too cheap to take him to the doctor.
Acidopholus – I use this for many things. It helps put my arthritis into remission and also regulates my stools.
Senna leaf – it is a natural laxative and is very gentle on your digestive system.
Coral calcium – the best sleep aid known to man and don’t buy the expensive stuff on TV that is nasty stuff. Just buy it at Walmart.
Iron- I have a slight case of anemia. This is something which is helping me build up my hemoglobin level so my brain can actually get oxygen. A necessary thing to be able to write this blog.
There are more but this is just a sampling to refute the crazies who did this nut case study.
