If you live in the European Union now is the time to sign this petition and to send money to the Alliance for Natural Health, (NIH) which is about to fight for your right to continue to select and use herbal remedies for your healthcare.
A large scale movement is now necessary to fight the pharmaceutical industry.
Do not let what happened to vitamins in the EU now happen to herbs!

Some of the restricted herbs are ridiculous. What are they thinking? Is it that so many stupid people abused them and caused severe problems? Did people die?

Let one person die from misusing herbs and the media is all over it, yet a bet at least 10 people a day die in the US from prescription drug side effects.

According to this, 46 people die every day from aspirin. There's other interesting info from that link as well.

1. Properly researched, regulated, prescribed and properly used drugs are the fourth most common cause of death – but they are never reported. (Source, Journal of the American Medical Association - Range 90,000 to 160,000 deaths per year.) That’s a Boeing 747 crashing every day! 46 people die every day from Aspirin alone in the USA.

The EU is a totally undemocratic parliament where the men who hold power the Council of Ministers, are appointed and not elected. The President of the EU is not elected either and legislation is not seriously debated and goes through 'on the nod.' It has never had its finances audited in 13 years. The last accountants who attempted to audit them reckoned the finances were so corrupted it would be impossible to approve them.

Here a British MEP Nigel Farage, leader of the UK Independance Party, who wants to get Britain out of the EU, lashes the President of the EU about its lack of democracy.
