Reports point to the FDA and other regulatory agencies working on BANNING ALL sales of herbal supplements

What reports? The FDA has tried many times to pull that off, but in December with the backroom middle of the night scam that passed HR2749/S.510/HR2751 they were given control of "food safety" on a huge scale. Congress was scared into passing this by the threat of "food terrorism" by our enemies. It was a total takeover of the control of food production in the U.S. There were guarantees of exemption of small producers (not processors) but that is a hollow victory by those who value freedom. And yes, it is a terrible weapon against the freedom of a people to "control" distribution of food. Life or death at the whim of a bureaucrat. That is a sobering thought.

” There were guarantees of exemption of small producers “

Not an ‘exemption’ - a ‘waiver’, which can be rescinded unilaterally by the FDA, under any pretext.....

There is a difference....
