This is a great motto...!!! What I should have said is.... I worry about how long the general population can hold interest in anything!!It's also interesting to know that herbalist Jim Duke refers to this and the preceding year as 'the great herbal depression.' His point is that less money is flowing towards the true bastions of herbalism than at any time in recent memory. This is because after 50 years of fighting for recognition of the value of herbs as medicine, Duke and other pioneers were over run by cheap, shallow competition. Consulting contracts were cut when companies saw their gross profits strong enough to support hiring 'college trained herbalists,' and so on. The real movement, the founding movement, the sustaining movement, didn't really share this wealth. Herbalgram, the publication that has done more than any other publication in establishing herbs as safe effective medicine is on the verge of bankruptcy.
My point: popular acceptance doesn't necessarily bring financial security to essence practitioners.
