FTC goes bananas: Help fight now.
This week the FTC, Federal Trade Commission the Big Brother Watching US group, made one person shut down his site because he included information on used of herbs. Now he is sueing them for denying his first amendment freddom of speech. (Bravo!)
As a writer, I believe that we need to make a stand for free speech. Please read on....

29 Healing Herbs: Some of my favorites.
This could be illegal....watch out!!!
Before I write about 29 of my favorite HEALING herbs, if you are someone who know about the FTC case against the Internet Marketer,see if his lawyer would like others to join the case to make a class action suit.I googled healing herbs and came up with 827,000 listings. So then I googled healing herbs us sites and got about 425,000 for us sites.
The guy who got hit was actually referring to US Federal Publications, available to anyone about HEALIBG HERBS. So I ask you, why does the US government want to prevent Americans from learning about docuements that they have previously approved for publication about health and Herbs?
I won't go into that discussion now. A couple of thousand years ago, a knowledgeable Jewish man proclaimed, "Heal Yourself!" His name was Jesus and it might be curious to see how often he told us to do that. Check the Bible.
Although he was referring to the power of the holy spirit or God to heal us, if you also check the Bible, you could probably find many references to herbs that were used for healing. Your government, if you are a US citizen, doesn't want you to print or publish this information.
Seems like censorship to me.
So here is your list of my favorite 29 healing herbs.
1) Peppermint
2) Astragalus
3) Holy Basil
4) Golednseal
5) Oregano
6) Plaintain
7) Comfrey
8) Red Clover
9) Marigold
10) Onion
11) Garlic
12) Cayenne Pepper
13) Fennel
14) Ginger
15) Milk Thistle
16) Tumeric
17) Nettles
18) rooibus
19) celery seed
20) cats claw
21) calendula
22) aloe
23) Dandelion
24) oat straw
25) catnip
26) yarrow
27) chickweed
28) thyme
29) maca
Yes they are all healing herbs. Yes it would be best to consult herbalists, naturpathic doctors, some of the 425,000 websites, and books to learn more about these fairly common herbs. Most of these may be found in your backyard, or kitchen cupboard. All but a few can be found and are commonly grown in North America.
I am using this as an example. If I were to make claims about their use, suggest what they could do, or apparently publish a reference sheet from where I got this information the FTC could make a lot of threats to me, possibly levy fines, and in some states in the USA lock me up (in prison).
Please share this information, and I think if all internet marketers rallied to support freedom of speech or the guy who got shut down, we could have a real good case.
When we don't make a stand, it's just that much easier for us to lose what we think is ours.
29: Yep they can all be used for healing many discomforts. Add your thoughts please.

- So far as I know, comfrey can be toxic if taken, but is good for adding to the compost!

- WOW,
Mary is right there with the TRUTH.
Amazing how a Television ad can claim relief from a mfg. pill (with numerous caveats) but someone can't make acclaim of the soothing effect of Comfrey tea...

Keep it up,
