HerbNET - Magazine - Letter From the Herbalist
With ephedra off the market (unless you're buying your herbs from a Chinese herbalist),
other herbs are potentially on the chopping block. Conrad Richter has been tracking the
interest by regulators to remove herbs and you can find that information at
http://www.richters.com/newdisplay.cgi?page=Issues/issues.html
...well worth reading. It is extremely important when questions about herbs come up with
the FDA (or other regulating bodies) that people make their opinions known. Just sitting
back and shaking your head doesn't get it. We truly have become a society that lets
government do what it wants, not usually from apathy, but from the fact that we don't have
time to take on one more cause. I can relate but it's why we have only ourselves to blame
when controlling our own health care is taken out of our hands. So start being an active
citizen while we still have the semblance of an opportunity.
Because it's spring (and cash is always a bit slow around tax time) I'm having a short sale
on our 2004 Herbalpedia.....through 4/30/04 you can get our CD for only $38...that's $10
off our normal price. Don't wait though....two weeks will pass before you know it and the
special will disappear.
Our "limited edition" Herb Business Conference has taken off and we're halfway
to filling it....6 months out. Remember, it's only for 100 select attendees that really want to
take their business to a new level. A $50 deposit will hold your space until 10/1/04 when
the balance will be due. The "Taking Care of (Herb) Business" Conference's emphasis
will be on giving each attendee the tools to go back and transform their enterprise. Dates
are Oct 29 and 30 in Chattanooga, TN. One day of successful herbal entrepreneurs like
Sandie Shores www.freshcutherbs.com, Jim Long www.longcreekherbs.com, Marge Clark
www.naturesgift.com and myself along with one day of intensives where participants will
break into small groups and work on group projects to improve sales. We'll cover things
like web marketing, business plans, pricing, good manufacturing practices and much
more. For more information visit http://www.herbworld.com/conference.htm and sign up
soon. We've already got a number of people signed up and when we reach the 100
person mark, that's it. Questions? call 717-393-3295 or email me at
herbworld@aol.com
That's it for this month. I'm going out to finally get my hands dirty.
