• Gotu kola has not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or

purity. All

potential risks and/ or advantages of gotu kola may not be known. Additionally,

there are

no regulated manufacturing standards in place for these compounds. There have

been

instances where herbal/ health supplements have been sold which were

contaminated with

toxic metals or other drugs. Herbal/ health supplements should be purchased from

a

reliable source to minimize the risk of contamination.

Sounds like something to avoid. Why do you guys need so many supplements that

may be

toxic?

consider using an herb that was toxic and had heavy metals. Tylenol is FDA

approved and

way more dangerous and toxic to the liver. For that matter, vitamin C has not

been

evaluated by the FDA as a cancer treatment, doesn't mean that research does not

exist or

people do not find benefit. Enzymes have not been evaluated by the FDA. Buying

anything

from a disreputable source, from milk to food to herbs to cars, is generally a

bad idea. I do

know Gota Kola is a tonic herb (this is not to be confused with Kola nut), with

natural

vitamins and magnesium. We use this herb to good effect. Out of all the

medications and

supplements that are available out there, I know one thing, the ones we take are

the least

damaging and are very healing.

Should this be added to our legal list? I hope Jody can look into it.

Personally I react badly to most herbs and supplements and am very wary. Perhaps

DeFelice can comment further on Goto Kola and also the FDA. I am in Canada and

our

approvals from the government vary from the U.S. Our government is trying to

control

alternative medicine...
