I think the people involved in either group know what they can do.&nbsp; One thing this article has done for me is that it has given me the reason why there are no standards of identity and quality for commercial herbal supplements, about which I have often complained.&nbsp; Now, there would be no need to worry about what you sell, because the goods are not important.&nbsp; The main objective of their existence is just being \u2018health\u2019 goods, especially the DSHEA does not allow specific claims.&nbsp; The other kind of supplements (herbal or chemical), according to those dealing in them, is one step closer to \u2018scientific\u2019 or \u2018evidence-based\u2019 drugs, eventually with Big Pharma behind it.&nbsp; Even with this group, I don\u2019t think the players have any clue what they are dealing with \u2013 herb or chemical?&nbsp; Especially they are not scientifically trained and don\u2019t recognize that there is no science in drug therapy once a chemical gets &nbsp;into our complex multichemical body.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or they are so intimidated by \u2018science\u2019 that &nbsp;they simply go along. &nbsp;I have numerous posts on LinkedIn and on my blog &nbsp;discussing this chemical vs. herb issue, especially the last one uploaded a day ago.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ayslcorp.com\/blog\">www.ayslcorp.com\/blog<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regardless, I think I know what it is trying to say:&nbsp;
