"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties
are of the gift of God?" --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia, 1782.



GOD MADE HERB
GOD SAW THAT IT WAS GOOD
GOD GAVE IT TO MAN

Genesis 1:11
Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its
kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth"; and it was so.

Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is
in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:29
And God said, "See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose
fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

Hey man! I'm all for people growing and... ah... making use of their own herbs!

The problem with mass production of herbal remedies is that the process is not well supervised. Microbes and other extraneous particulate can find their way into your bottle and cause you greater harm than good.

Genesis 9:3
Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.

I love animals, they taste delicious!

Incorrigible, you're right, vitamin companies making herbs do not have to live up to pharmaceutical standards.

Pretty soon we'll need permission to grow basil in our back yards.
