"By outlawing the truth about the healing benefits of nutritional supplements, the FDA has been able to suppress information about the positive effects of vitamins, minerals, herbs, superfoods and other natural health products.

"On December 22, 2001 the proposed new regulations governing the manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, importation, distribution and sale of natural health products (including herbs) in Canada were published in Canada Gazette Part I,4 as the first step in the implementation of new statutory regulations. The new regulations are part of the current Food and Drugs Act, but are specific to NHPs, effectively identifying them as a category distinct from foods and drugs. Requirements apply to all persons who sell NHPs, namely manufacturers, distributors, importers, packagers and labelers." - Heather Boon, BScPhm, PhD and Michael Smith, BPharm, MRPharmS, ND, The Natural Medicine Guide to the 50 Most Common Medicinal Herbs (Get the book.)

The manufacturer of any herb marketed as a food could not print any medicinal claims on the label of the product.

As an anti-inflammatory, licorice is applied topically to treat conditions such as cankers, cold sores and minor skin abrasions. A growing amount of scientific evidence supports the use of deglycyrrhizinated licorice in the treatment of peptic and duodenal ulcers." - Heather Boon, BScPhm, PhD and Michael Smith, BPharm, MRPharmS, ND, The Natural Medicine Guide to the 50 Most Common Medicinal Herbs (Get the book.)
