Europe, China and India have used herbal treatment for thousands of years & their pharmacies carry herbal medicines. Herbs like Ginko Biloba, which has had over 300 tests done in german and france, are prohibited in the US from being marketed as medicines and cant claim any illness fighting properties on the label. Why is it that the FDA isnt willing to consider safer, more natural medicines, but spends decades approving drugs which turn out to be harmful, with ridiculous side effects and later sometimes have to be recalled? Can anyone answer this, why are vitamins and natural herb supplements not considered to have medical benefits by the FDA????
