I couldn't understand why there weren't many recent threads on this forum. So I took the time to go back and look at previous postings, back to 08. Now I understand why. There were some good threads, great advice from herbalbetty and others, and a helpful, like-minded vibe.

But there was a common theme running through them : I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. I find this to be more than just coincidence, or just the passion of two scientific, skeptical people. What I see is an attack on all things herbal. Yes, there's a place for the discussion of medicine and science in this forum, and a difference of opionions. But after reading, I find this this attack to be systematic and persistent in nature. What gives?
