2012, 17:01 Subject: BBC reply to my complaint

I have finally got a reply from the BBC concerning my complaint about the 'You and Yours' broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 10 August. "You mention that “Prof Theo Raynor was interviewed on yesterday morning on Radio 4 talking about the dangers of herbal medicine†I have to say that I don’t think that was the case. Professor Raynor was talking about his research into badly labelled herbal medicine. He did not say that herbal medicine was dangerous, but that some herbal remedies were badly labelled and patients were sometimes buying products without full knowledge

of what the remedies contained.We recognise that there are strong opinions about the use of herbal remedies. We attempt to achieve a fair reflection of the various valid opinions on a large subject like this over a

period of time and we have regularly reported the views of bodies like The National Institute of Medical Herbalists." Anne
