I have to give my viewpoint on this...after a very long time of bring sick and told that the IBS and the Gerd were in my head so to speak...Drs gave me everything from surgery, gallbladder, that made things worse, meds that we are finding out that in the long run are not good for you, and everytime I go back they never have an answer for any of my questions.. I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years, Drs and drug co's do not want you to take herbs or vitamins cause they would be out of work if people somehow did get better.. I grew up on alot of home remedies...and believe me I would rather be putting them in me then the meds I am now..but I dont remember my family ever complain about things like we have now...but then we didnt eat processed foods either, like we do now.. and as far as the FDA, they seem to make alot of mistakes also..so I doubt that I would trust their opinion on herbs or vitamins if they did test them... And as far as life expectancy, yes it is longer..but is the quality better?...I doubt that my body could stand to be like this for another 30 years..
