Open let­ter to herbal­ist Trevor Say­ers: Why hide your de­gree? Is it from a bush doc­tor school no one has heard of or is it from a recog­nised med­ical in­sti­tu­tion? It doesn't mat­ter which; if you have it the pub­lic wants to see it. If you don't have it, then how does the pub­lic know your claims about cur­ing ill­ness­es are ac­cu­rate? There should be no rea­son to fear reg­u­la­tions as the med­ical field is heav­i­ly reg­u­lat­ed and since you call your­self "Dr" it should be some­thing you are used to, not so? In any event, the Gov­ern­ment must act on be­half of the peo­ple in or­der to pro­tect us from false claims and dan­ger­ous com­bi­na­tions by un­scrupu­lous herbal­ists. If you're against that, then it leaves me to won­der if your goal is re­al­ly to help peo­ple.
