lambella. Very important issue you raise.
I may be wrong but it sounds like 'Codex Alimentarius' which on the surface is benign but when you look at the implications is a step back to the dark ages. People need to get off their idle rears and stop it.
"If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms."

Here in Luxembourg herbal supplements are much more tightly controlled, as they are in Germany as well.
You don’t need a prescription normally, but you do have to buy them from a proper pharmacy and they’re not on the shelf in supermarkets as they are in the UK.
I think this has more to do with the control of all types of drugs than anything against alternative medicine; you can’t even buy Aspirin or indigestion tablets without going to a pharmacy.
I always use mint in my tea, honey on cuts and abrasions, fish oil and olive oil, table spoon each day, hot water and lemon drink before bed and in the morning, I always drink cabbage water and any water veg has been steamed in and never ever eat salt.
My health is still sh** but what the hell, I can't live for ever.
As for aphrodisiacs, well, I had a dozen oysters last night and only nine worked.
I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.
Yep, that's the one. I read the link you provided and it's scary stuff, isn't it, Mr P? For any UK citizens wanting to make their voice heard here is the link for the Downing Street petition. http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Vitamins/

Wow! Directly petition the Prime Minister's Office? Ok. I've added my signature. Thanks for the link.

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

I wouldn’t get too excited MrP, there are over 4500 petitions on that website; I wonder if that pension annihilating Scotsman has time to read them all.
I think GB and TB and GB (US) should be granted access to 'night crawlers' with no posts on HHAD
After all, they're all crawlers from under some stone

Hi, I am new to body building field, I have heard about herbal supplements but never happen to use them, I want to know where can I find the best pro-hormone that suits my needs and if these pro-hormone are advisable to use during the initial stage of body building to give boost to the muscle growth.
