The FDA and CDC only acknowledge drugs and nothing plant-based. They know about all products including ours and do not embrace them as they cannot make money off of herbs. Drugs is where the money is at. Drugs can be regulated and herbs can't. Would it make sense for government to promote cures when government makes money off of disease due to drugs created for diseases? You will never hear talk about cures being discovered because as comedian Chris Rock said: the money is not in cures but in drugs - drugs sales. Therefore, it's politically correct to talk about finding cures but it is politically incorrect to actually find them.
