Re: Escalating prices of herbs

[Guest guest]

--- I think some places have always got as much as they could, perhaps

claiming they were better somehow; I buy mine from a small shop who

gets hers from a man in New York state.Some,like osha root,are hard to

find but if you look around on the net, the prices vary greatly

there,too.also--they may be trying to take advantage of people who try

to stock up before they are taken off the market; and if that happens..

this country is in worse trouble than we can imagine...what else is

going on??
