Article is not fair to alternative medicine
Chicago Daily Herald
I feel the need to try and set a few things straight regarding this misleading highly-slanted article. It appears that Ms. My question is: in this nation of over-prescribed overpriced and oftentimes unsafe pharmaceutical drugs why would she choose to undermine an industry that is trying to provide a valid alternative? Indeed the best pharmaceutical drugs are modeled from and mimic the actions of ingredients found in nature and in natural supplements. Pain management is of utmost importance to patients and their caregivers. Why use outrageous offensive terms to describe valid practices and therapies that have helped so many people?

In fact the thriving herbal industry in Malaysia is expected to reach almost RM10bil in 2009 and likely to grow 8% to 15% annually in line with the growing acceptance for herbal based natural phyto-medicine globally.

Capturing 1% of the global market share by then could easily translate into a RM190bil industry for Malaysia! Taking these facts into account Malaysia is doubling its effort to position itself as a “rainforest herbal hub” where local and foreign companies can conduct research to develop more TCM products for healthare and other related applications.
