There are any number of local "weeds" that will take away poison oak or
poison ivy, but you won't find them or any of their preparations on the shelves
in any stores. You need to know what to look for and how to use them and as
usual at least one of them will be found in the exact same location as the
poison ( oak or ivy). The two that grow in my area are Plantago Major
(plantain) and Yellowdock (curlydock). And yes the FDA has the power to ban
any substance that they choose on their own whim. Recent legislation has just
granted them even more power to do so, expectations are that within a short
period of time most all dietary supplements will disappear from store shelves
and those that do remain will be many times more expensive. This is a sad
state of affairs. We tried to stop it, but were sold out by our folks in
Congress who promised to help us but at the last minute voted in favor of
the legislation we were trying to stop.
They will have one sweet time eliminating all our natural remedies from the
roadsides and wooded areas. Time to get back to basics and learn what our
grandmothers took for granted.

Oak Away was forced off of the market by the FDA, because the label implied
that it cured poison oak and poison ivy. The FDA said that the label made a
medical claim that had not been "proven" to the satisfaction of the FDA. I
know this to be a fact, because my wife was the manager in charge of ordering
Oak Aaway, and that is what she was told by the distributor. Whether the FDA
has jurisdiction over Jewel Weed or not is not the issue. If a government
regulatory agency exerts enough pressure to cause a fledgling company to pull
its product from sore shelves, then that company can fold simply because it
lacks the capital reserves to ride out the "strom". And that's what happened.
No other company has had the guts to go up against the big pharma people who do
not want an inexpensive and super effective cure for poison ivy and poison oak
to be available to the public ... they have too much to lose economically.
'Nuff said.
