Nathan Goodyear on 04 Nov 13This study found that herbal supplements are not what they claim to be. The problem here is they didn't publish the companies that were found to be dishonest and then presenting this as a broad represetntation of the industry. That is intellectual malpractice. Herbs have observation of thousands of years of their efficacy. Some companies choose to skimp and falsify components for profit. This might be the cause of the difference between a $5 bottle of Herbs from WalMart and a $50 dollar from a reputable supplier. This by no means invalidates Herbs.
