To any plant lovers reading this...
I recently heard about this new proposal called the Traditional Medicines Congress Proposal and Regulatory Model, that if passed could seriously affect the face of plant medicine in this country and impact herbalists, herbal product manufacturers (including me making desert dit da or calendula salve in my backyard), herbal store owners, curanderos, etc. etc. the list goes on and on.
Please read the proposal carefully and make your voice be heard. The
proposal is available here:
Send your feedback to TMCongressFeedback@pobox.com
In addition, you can send your comments the American Herbalists Guild (for the record, it's our understanding that the Guild did not help in writing this proposal, but got involved after the fact so that herbalists could have their voice heard) and to the American Herbal Products Association. It is my understanding that the AHPA did not mention this proposal to board members at the last board meeting.
Websites for AHG and AHPA are www.americanherbalistsguild.com and
www.ahpa.org.
AHPA claims that the TM Congress has no interest in regulating herbalists or preparations that herbalists use, but the document implies otherwise, imo. Please read it carefully and send AHPA, the AHG and the TmCongress your comments...
We don't need no regulation!!!
