Congratulations on a great show. I am responding to your show on Herbs! There is a misnomer within the market place that herbs and synthetic vitamins are some how beneficial to the human body.

Our bodies need nutrients that are alive in organic energy thus vitamins that are man made which make up 97% of the market place are incompatible with human physiology.

Herbs can be beneficial but are most often lacking in enzymes, co-factors and rich in vitamins. We as a society are unhealthy because of the man made chemicals in our food sources and within our environment to include synthetic vitamins. How can a man made chemical product interact with an organic cell, the cell most often views the product as foreign and trys to get it out of the body.

I would like to be interviewed on this subject matter and you may view who I am as well as my company at www.wbyd.com

Ignor the other two

The answer to your question, "Is smoking Pot an Herbal Supplement?". Is no. But. Thousands of drug dealers have jumped on the valid "Herbal Health" band wagon just to cause confusion by saying that marijuana smoke is medicine so they can make literally tens of billions in profits, mostly from our school system. What pot is doing to the educations and health of this nations kids is unconscionable.

The truth is that THC has been available in a very powerful pure pill form for over 35 years now (Marinol) and marijuana smoke contains many of the same carcinogens as cigarette smoke.

A, Herbal medicines has been doing wonders for thousands of years but it needs to be fresh and self dosing is still a bad idea.

B, Smoking organic pot with all of it's molds, rat feces, dog hair and all the chemicals the growers use is anything but healthy.

Get ready for the next big attack and a Ban by the FDA and Big Pharma on a substance called White Gold Powder. This stuff goes back to biblical times and is quite a story, a super conductor which cannot be patented. You may bet your shirt on the fact that Big Pharma use it personally, they are not however going to let you and I have any. The problem they and the crooked FDA have is this very medium, the world wide web. We are all becoming better informed and the truth is finally coming out, there will be a worldwide health revolution.....Soon.

On whether the report is biased or not.
Interesting to note that on the line graphs following your question:
Do You Think Herbal Supplements Are Generally Helpful?
(All respondents)

Yes
44%
No
33%
That the line for yes is shorter than the line graph for no.
If there weren't pre-formed opinions, by your staff, on the response, why is the graph inversed? An interesting slip.

RichL,
You are of course quite right, this is yet another propoganda piece by Big Pharma. Bearing in mind they have considerable stake holdings in any worthy media company, they dictate to the executive. Big Pharma is becoming very worried by alternative medicines, proven, cheap and cannot be patented. The success rate of Chemotherapy is 5% and costs a fortune, Vitamin B17 costs pennies and works, Vitamin C works, Graviola, Bitter Melon and many other cancer cures are effective but don't ask your Oncologist for them because he is afraid of being shot or at the very least run out of town.
If I could address Nancy Pelosi I would ask her to prosecute these evil people for genocide, what a step toward better health that would be.
HIV, Bird Flu, Aids, all fiction, scare mongering dreampt up to sell poisons for big bucks. Please remember, There 'aint no cash in a cure, Dependency and comfort is big cash, since when did Big Pharma cure anything??????
