From time to time we see negative publicity about herbs and supplements claiming that they are “unregulated.”  Ignoring the fact that herbs and supplements are regulated (and rather heavily I might add), I’d like to address this whole idea of “regulation” being a good thing.  Why should government regulate everything in the first place?  We have become a nation where we are over-regulated and we need to start taking a stand against the government continuing to interfere with our inalienable rights.  Just because the majority of people believe something doesn't mean they have the right to force anyone to conform to that belief.  This is not only true in health care, it's true as a general principle.
