It's terrible just terrible! I am truly shocked that McCain would do this. He represents a state that is the most progressive in alternative medicine in the whole US! During election time we banned discussion of politics on here because it can get so volatile, hurt feelings, etc. But if you would have told me 2 yrs ago that he would do this I would have argued vehemently. It just doesn't seem in character. I can't even think of the ramifications for OUR families if this were to pass. I saw Suzanne Somers on O'Reilly Factor last week discussing this. She didn't do a very good job of defending our position on this. O'Reilly did talk over her most of the time and he's so opinionated (as is his job) that it was hard to get a word in edgewise. But we really needed someone not intimidated to go on there and be strong and on point. O'Reilly's point was that from his experi

ence he took Red Yeast and it caused elevated liver enzymes. I kept thinking..."oh poor baby, if elevated enzymes were the only thing WE all had to worry about!"

The bottom line is that when we take these herbs, supplements, healing foods, etc. It is OUR responsibility to research them, the side effects and what they do before taking them or giving them to your child. If it's too difficult to understand the science of it, then it's imperative to get a doctor to consult with. But even with that, you still need to learn about what you are taking. I learned that the HARD way when I gave my son ear drops prescribed by a DAN! in which I didn't read the label until he had already had 3 days worth of thimerosol from the drops.

To be honest, I am growing my own. I planted a Barberry bush, Elderberry bush,

Schizandra vine, Goji berry vine, etc. I can't keep living in fear that " they "

will do this; I am preparing for it. I hate to be pessimistic, but I think that

eventually, at some future point, things just aren't going to be good. Please,

I implore you, start planting and learning while we still can! Yes, it's good

to fight for our rights in the mean-time, but get your back-up plans in place!

Love and prayers,

I am growing milk thistle, calendula flowers, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember.  I am glad to hear I'm not the only one!
