Re: a plant extract with tested potency
Ellie,
We are in the same boat and team mates. I guess my current situation and constant battle to get treatments (and not simply just more chemo or nothing) is exhausting emotionally and financially is making me susceptible and quick to react to perceived criticism.
Lets hope that the Eu decision is reversed, all we need is the supplement market to be GMP approved which guarantee the purity/potency of the product one should have the freedom to buy what they wished to heal themselves. In 97 a company tried to patent tumeric.. it was not allowed due to a long history of use but future discovery (and current as the example above)that could be used there and then (and cheap and often better in natural form) may not be so lucky, it sadden me, conspiracy theory is often used to ridicule & dismiss the people that are standing up against this.
As an example the video below will let you know where I am coming from:
