Super great video! The system is broken! Unfortunately, dependence on chemicals has been and still is rampant, for sure.

IMO the only problem with organic stuff I experienced is not knowing how effective "NATURAL STUFF" really is.
One of my sisters uses 'old' recipe/concoctions from Native American herbalogists or whatever they're called. She's constantly researching and brewing 'only organic' stuff in her kitchen, bottles it beautifully etc. She has quite a lucrative side business with this. Her customers love it! Her business has been growing by leaps and bounds. People buy her skin products, her hair products etc, because they are chemical-free. She even formulates custom organic stuff for her customers. Of course, come holiday-time, family always winds up with a bottle or two of her topical stuff for this or that. I'm sorry to say, I usually toss mine in the fridge and they wind up sitting there forever. Perhaps, I'm just really ignorant as to the efficacy of this 'natural' stuff on my skin.

Interesting to note from the web site you posted, that they INCLUDE a legal disclaimer regarding Tata Harpers products:
"The Website has been approved to provide general information about Tata Harper (“Tata Harper”), a brand owned by THO, and its business and to offer the opportunity to purchase Tata Harper products. The information provided at the Website is not intended to provide medical advice. You should not construe Tata Harper’s publication of any content on the Website as any warranty or guarantee of any strategy, recommendation, treatment, action or application of any product. Users of the Website should be aware that no regulatory agency has deemed the products described herein to be effective or intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."
(BUT IT'S ALL NATURAL)
Yes, our governmental regulatory system is broken. Consumers really never know how safe or non-toxic any given product is. And it becomes business as usual.

Sorry, i guess I should have made it clear. The video was posted on Tata Harper's blog that is why there is a reference to Tata Harper products.

Old news really (2010) and has been discussed ad nauseum on various websites across the Internet. However in the interest of fairness and balance, you may also want to view both sides of the issue:

Everything is chemical, even "natural stuff"; natural doesn't necessarily mean safe or better.

It may be old propaganda, but that's the power, beauty and relevance of this forum, isn't it.

Thx for the other links.

I love it:
