Excellent post Samantha,

If Santa brought or own scientific research team what would our expectations be?

Perhaps somebody is listening already, who knows?, or if the seed could be planted right?, the research test subjects here already have a wealth of information. To me it seems like a no brainer.

Yes, I agree. Samantha, your post is well said, and a useful reminder that we are all engaged in varying amounts of experimentation on ourselves as guinea pigs. Since most research studies are financed by companies or institutions motivated by profit potential, I suspect that little will be done to quantitatively establish the value of herbs for NBE. And as long as the regulatory agencies (FDA) continue to ignore these natural supplements, suppliers are more than willing to keep selling their products, without benefit of scientific support and quality controls, by making false or misleading marketing claims. Buyer beware.
