EU Bans Most Herbs

After much deliberation, new European Union regulations have come into place banning hundreds of traditional herbal remedies. Under the guise of "protecting" consumers from these "dangerous" supplements, the European Union has opened the flood gates to an onslaught of new legislation designed to cut off access to alternative health supplements worldwide, setting the precedent for the government to tell us what we can and cannot put in our own bodies. The rules allow for only "long-established and quality-controlled medicines" to be sold to consumers, limiting the advancement of any new companies or establishments that the government does not deem to be "quality" by their own terms. This type of governmental regulation of nutritional supplements may soon spill over to the food industry, where government involvement may be even more cause for concern.

NOTE: This legislation has been coming for several years. Consumers do not want it, but that matters not. Pharmaceutical companies and the Medical Gulag do not want competition, it's bad for business and so is good health.

The USSA will follow suit, you can depend on it.
