b"Medicines, both herbal and pharmaceutical, are big business. These days, Americans spend $200 billion per year on prescription drugs and $20 billion on herbs and other dietary supplements. Why is that? Well we believe that for the most part, people get lazy and let their doctor choose for them. Drugs are 62,000 times more likely to kill you than food or supplements from Mother Nature; According to the Council for Responsible Nutrition. Both food supplements and herbal remedies are in the 'super-safe' category of individual risk \\u2013 meaning risk of death from their consumption is less than 1 in 10 million.\\n\\nIn striking contrast, drugs are known to cause well over 125,000 deaths per year in the US when taken correctly as prescribed \\u2013 yet the FDA allows fast-track approvals and countless new additions of poorly tested drugs to the marketplace that must later be withdrawn due to their lethal consequences.\\n\\nBesides drugs and hospital injuries, you're also more likely to die from being struck by lightning or drowning in your bathtub than having a lethal reaction to herbs or supplements. It is simply incomprehensible that any rational approach would seek to vilify supplements over drugs when the data in no way, shape or form supports it.
