Commentary: Your Health Is for Sale

|

A new commentary titled "Your Health for Sale has been posted in the commentary section of the site:

Last week in Tai Chi class, a student asked Sifu how long would it take to complete Tai Chi training. In broken English punctuated with Mandarin, Sifu said, "Is no end." He described Tai Chi training as a bottomless pit, not realizing that in English that analogy has a negative connotation. The analogy better fits the workings of the US Government, specifically the FDA as it quietly tries to sneak through regulations that would restrict the sales of vitamins, healing herbs and supplements and the practice of complementary and alternative healthcare modalities so that they are only available via physician prescription. Like a bottomless pit, government agencies and the corporations lining their pockets always find more ways to sell out the American public.
