Doe’s doubts rebuffed

“Dear Sir;

_. Ret ‘Doc doubts herbal
cures,’ (The Terrace Stan-
dard, Sept. 30).

‘I think it dangerous and
misleading to make a few
general assumptions and as-
serlions on a topic one has
litle or no knowledge
~- about, especially when one
is given credence by the

-*. general populace because of

one’s position in the com-

“oo nity,- >:

“Sadly, people with the ini-
‘tials’ M.D. afer their name
often have god-like qualities
attributed to them.

“Often I find so-called ia-
‘formed sources to be de-
cidedly the opposite, Of
course, everyone is entitled
to their opinion, but let’s be
sureand point out that
views expressed are just
that, and may have no basis
in fact whatsoever.

I take exception 10 some

“Heroin is decidedly not

Sinking
feeling

Dear Sir:

We are still living in this
world like the people of the
Titanic. Only .the high
classed are privileged,

When the going gets
tough, some pcople may
desert their own children,
spouses, etc, Others are too
afraid of the head man, or
leader to try to help others
in need,

A real man gives up his

’ Jife for what he believes and
that is whal Jack Dawson
did, Others were forced to
give up their lives like they
had no will of their own.

How can anyone face a
gun? They just locked them
behind the locked doors.
When docs the door close?
It closes when our work is
done on Earth.

At times, some lives are
spared to finish what they
arc suppose to finish, It is a
sad existence to try to have
material things just to show
up others who are less
fortunale. Super rich and
some people with power are
narrow minded,

Why have poor among us
when there is enough to go
around? The news media
slill thinks they can control
our minds. When are they
going lo realize thal they
cannot at their money
when another crash comes
our way?

Multi-national = corpora-
tions will make it harder for
lower classes {o survive,
They have hidden the star-
vation in some parts of the
world and they think we do
not know about it?

We have heard many
times about ethnic cleans-
ing. Many things are show-
ing in the weirdest ways.
Guess who is watching and
listening? They said the
Titanic was unsinkable and
God himself cannot sink it,
Well?

tive.

I think it important to note
(hat there has never been a
single recorded death at-
tributed to herb consump-
tion.

3. “‘Peaple spend
hundreds of dollars on
herbs,’” Now, I don’t know
about you but frankly what I
spend my owl money on is

my own business.

Perhaps a more pertinent
observation from a health
practilioner might be
“People spend hundreds
and thousands of dollars on
nicotine, alcohol, nutricnt-
free fast foods, and sugar-
laden soft drinks.”’

In fairness to all, there are
many disreputable herbal

products and herbalists out

there as there are in any in-

dustry. The doctor is correct
— buyer beware. Check
your sources carefully,
Herbs don’t cure anything.
What they do is provide vi-
tal nutrients (sadly needed
in today’s nutrient depleted
world) that nourish the body
50 that it can achicve and
maintain a stale of optimal
health characterized by
vitality and freedom from
disease.
