Part of the problem is that herbal supplements and mainstream medicine come from two very different worlds and operate in different regulatory environments. The marketing of prescription and over-the-counter drugs is strictly regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, which requires scientific proof of safety and efficacy. Herbal remedies, by contrast, are largely exempt from FDA supervision. Companies can sell herbal preparations without guaranteeing that what's on the label is inside the bottle...
...this hypocrisy? After all, in seeking to replace a President who has gone so far as to test politically palatable vacation spots, Bush brandishes his disdain for the practice as proof of his own titanium character. He says over and over he is a "plainspoken man." But Bush is far more dependent on polls for shaping his message than he likes to admit, even if there is scant evidence that he uses them to develop fundamental policy positions. Remember Bob Jones?

...There was positively nothing "Britney Spears-esque" about this performance. When the stage exploded with fireworks and 'NSync belted out their first Hot 100 single, "It's Gonna Be Me," I knew that this was all real. Further proof that the boys were actually singing was evident in their perfectly blended a cappella version of "I Thought She Knew." 'NSync continued to set the soft mood with other romantic favorites like "Drive Myself Crazy" and "God Must Have Spent." Tears were pouring and screams were heard, but I kept reminding myself to stay strong. I vowed at that instant that...
