The Real Truth

One evening at story time, a little girl asked her father,
"Daddy, do all fairy tales begin with, 'Once Upon A Time?' "

"No, honey," her father replied, "there is a whole series
of fairy tales that begin with, 'If elected I promise . . .' "

It befits the modern age of PC that many "FAIRY TAILS" these days are followed by a lengthy and confusing disclaimer, which releases the source from any responsibility whatever...

The only unused phrase seems to be "except on full moons, during a lunar (or solar) eclipse".

The major catch phrase is "Use of this product is not confirmed to have the results stated by the food and drug administration". (or somesuch)

Which encompasses every single herb remedy on earth...

Drugs come from herbs. All the pharmaceutical companies do is concentrate them.

And then they back peddle and cut them so that no one O-D's on the stuff...

Pure herbs are much stronger than what is packaged for the general public.

True ginseng extract for one thing causes a heat in the body - much like a niacin tablet.

It is assumed that you don't know what you are doing. So in any product like that it is so watered down you might as well just buy sugar pills.

Liability being what it is these days...

Greywolf, speaking of disclaimers and general stupidity. Have you seen a claymore anti-personnel mine? It says, "Front. Face towards enemy." Sheesh, if you can't figure that out, maybe you should go back home.
