Herbal medicine is governed by Dietary Supplements Health Education Act [DSHEA] not FDA [Federal Drug Administration]. The act establishes a separate class from food and drugs for nutrients and herbal products named “Dietary Supplements.” The FDA does not request specific approval for claims made by supplement manufacturers but instead requires them to submit their claims and place disclaimers on packages and advertising stating, “This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.”

The Story .... The December 14, 2004 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association included a report of research done at Harvard by a team led by Robert B. Saper, MD, MPH,(1) that exploded across the U.S. and even overseas. The news resulted in worried patients calling their Ayurvedic practitioners for assurance that their recommended herbal protocols were not those containing toxic metals. In turn, practitioners were turning to their herbal suppliers for confirmation that the herbs they offered were “safe.”
