ETHICS OF HERBAL ADVERTISING
QUESTION:
If no Herbs increase the size of breasts, then why do they the Herbs have labels saying they do? And all the Herb
Shops have them, so in that case, all information on all Herb Labels must be just a joke. Herbs must not do nothing for
you, or either they wouldn't contradict. Why would people buy them if they can't believe the label?
ANSWER:
Our store does not sell them or any other magical elixir for weight reduction or extra energy. You are right to feel anger
and disappointment but you feelings are directed at the wrong suspect. The plants are not to blame, people are.
Herbal Medicine has recently come back in vogue. Greedy commercial interests which in the past have kept the lime
light and public interest away from natural approaches to medicine now see big $bucks$ to be made. These trickster
play on the emotional issues of the unsuspecting (or undereducated in that topic) public and make magical promise
which are mostly fantasy. Herbs do work, I know they work for me and my family. If you are truly interested in plant
medicine and how you can control your destiny in healthcare; you would do well to review the many books written by
educated herbalists not rantings of a snake oil selling showman. Quality herb stores will not sell products to simply
make a profit most are run by small families who want to educate their customers and keep them coming back. One
bad experience by a customer is retold many times to friends, reputable stores would not sell a product simply to make
a fast buck, it would be like cutting off their nose despite their face. Most herb store owners try to sell quality products,
I cannot speak for the many nutritional supplement stores which have sprung up trying to get the glut of money be
spent on nutritional and herbal products. It has increased in sales 80% in the past 4 years. Herbs work for some
things, breast enlargement is not one of them. I am sorry. Would you rather I tell you the truth or add to the lies already
being told?
