Plant medicines were the source of all synthetic, pilled medicines today.
Everything is molecular in nature, so it is no use to call an herb less medicinal than a "small molecule," because both are the same. Herbs contain small molecules, and small molecules exist in "herbs."
Pharmaceutical media tries to minimalize and trivialize "herbal medicine" by trying to coin it as some kind of culinary problem. It isn't. "Herbal medicine" has some very effective medicines, some as powerful if not better than conventional pharmaceuticals, and for far cheaper.
On the other hand, we must be wary of unscrupulous herbal medicine dealers who sell things that are tainted with lead, mercurcy, microbes, and other taints. Those who are dogmatic by either polemic are very suspect in their character and may be more interested in their egos or their position in a hierarchy than actually helping people.
To quote a salesman of the pharmaceutical industry, "We are not interested in curing anyone. We are a business." When I hear anyone say something to the tune of "It's just business," they are proclaiming publicly that they have no soul other than that they have sold in a Faustian deal with the devil. They proclaim that they choose to be venal and perfidious, as opposed to being honest and naked in their dealings with their fellow human beings.
As far as your health goes, I would never be anything less than brutally honest and unbiased, ever looking out for you in an impartial way without judgement. From this standpoint, I can say that it is definitely unfavorable for DSHEA to be voted down by any government official who is conspiring with Pharma business.
