Remember this
As our lovely EEC are trying to stop all un-provable medication
With this they should drive out all those witches
It is already illegal for holistic’s to call themselves healers
Moreover, this is now covered by trading standards legislation
If you cannot prove it, then you will be fined
And all advertising has to be adjusted to cover the new rules

Take care out there
The net is closong in on you all q21

Arg Hermie, I remember all the controls you over there were being impinged with, so far..over here we do not have them but I know that in politics control and money are all things so I hold my breathe and pray to be left alone to do what I do in peace.

Its just history repeating its self
They might even drive us underground next
But burning us at the stake
Will infringe on our human rights
And the Europeans are big on that
Mind you, they are big on rules for the sake of it... too

mia

Nah, they wouldn't burn us at the stakes.
We would pollute the air .........

And that would contravene other EEC laws

Yes, Sage. I knew about peppermint. I bet even grandmothers in the Old Brittish Islands will tell you that it's good for babies who are "colicky"

It's nice to read that it's another home remedy that's being accepted.

And yes, I read a news story about "alternative thinking" ideas being OUTLAWED, basically in England........ I bet that will change eventually, though.

Oh.......and along the same lines as peppermint.......Ginger Root works in a smiliar way, although just for upset digestion - not for killing germs. (Love the subject, btw.)
