Links

Here are some useful links to information and organizations related to Health Freedom issues. If you have a site that you think should be included on this page feel free to contact us with the information.

Due to FTC regulations we have removed links to websites unrelated to us that provide useful, historical, traditional and educational information on the use of the herbs we sell.

We have filed a lawsuit against the FTC in the hopes of changing these regulations so that we, and all sellers of herbs, may link to, as well as provide, truthful, traditional and historic use information on herbs. For more information on this lawsuit visit Herbal Information
