A: – It is very important that those reading this website and those buying Whole World Botanicals´ products understand something about the natural products {dietary supplement} industry and how the question of claims actually works. By law, Whole World Botanicals cannot claim that any of our products will prevent a disease or a specific organ malfunction or treat or cure anything. This is true even where there are animal studies or in vitro studies which would suggest that it well might. The reason for this is that to make such claims the company has to be selling a drug –whether over-the counter or prescription.
And in order to make such claims the FDA requires a series of very rigorous and costly human clinical trials which are out of the economic reach of small herbal companies who are not taking out patents on their products. Therefore, legally we can only tell you that Royal Break-Stone promotes the health of the kidneys and the liver. You can go to PubMed and look up research on various herbs (check them out by their botanical names) and you can also find articles written by authors who are not selling products. These authors are free to give their opinion on these herbs based on testimonials, in vitro studies, animal studies, tradtional usages and even personal experience! This is a right they have under the U.S. Constitution freedom of the press statute in the Bill of Rights. In the end, it´s left up to the consumer to gather all posible information and then make an informed decision. The good news is that, unless you have an allergic reaction which could happen to anyone with any food or herb, these botanical products are very safe.
