Document Summary
Products found in nature that are manufactured and sold or represented for medical or health related uses, such as treating or preventing diseases. 50% of drugs in the last 30 years have been derived directly or indirectly from natural products. In the 1960s, there was a renewed interest in natural products (post thalidomide babies) As of 2004, herbs are regulated as a subset of drugs: drug = a substance that brings about a biological change in the body plants contain chemicals that can do this. Schedule d biologics (except for homeopathics and probiotics) Controlled drugs act schedules i-v (khat, marijuana, morphine, etc. ) Good to excellent rating of personal health. Recommended by a family member or friend. Better for me than chemical products or drugs. If a nhp is for sale, it must be safe. They are harmless and free of side effects. Believe that nhps are safe because they are made from natural ingredients.
