Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas declares that discussing the structure and function of the body-mind-spirit complex according to the January 2000 FDA’s DSHEA guidelines, when the substance is a food or dietary supplement, makes the online (and constitutionally protected First Amendment free speech) “conversation” between Khabir Southwick and the person who seeks Ayurvedic other natural food supplement products or services clearly educational, and removes any intent to prescribe for a particular disease or illness.
Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas and the products and services offered “do not diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent disease” or illness or symptoms as defined by the FDA and the State of California. Products and services offered do not “augment a particular therapy or drug action that is intended to diagnose, mitigate, treat, cure, or prevent a disease or class of diseases,” illnesses, or symptoms, nor does Khabir “treat, prevent, or mitigate adverse events associated with a therapy for a disease, if the adverse events constitute diseases.”[ii]
Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas declares its support of the Food and Drug Administration’s DSHEA Act [Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act][i] where it supports our contention that herbs, herbal foods, herbal oils, herbal ghee (clarified butter), vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are food supplements and not medicine.
Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas declares its First Amendment Right to free public and private speech (written or oral) regarding the traditional uses of herbs, herbal foods, herbal oils, herbal ghee (clarified butter), vitamins, minerals and enzymes, and food or herbal supplements in general, as described in the ancient texts, sutras and scriptures of India, Tibet and China, as well as in regards to the natural health-care information that is available to the public.
Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas declares with respect to all of its products and services offered to the public that “The evidence in support of this claim is inconclusive and all statements regarding these products has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. All products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”
This declaration of Khabir Southwick aka Herb Man, DBA Herb Man Teas is based on his understanding of the precedent set by the successful “challenge before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Pearson v. Shalala, 164 F.3d 650 (D.C. Cir. 1999), ruled that the agency” (the FDA) “must permit health claims that do not satisfy the ‘significant scientific agreement’ standard as long as the claim can be rendered non-misleading by requiring a disclaimer. The Court examined possible disclaimers in some detail, and suggested that the FDA concerns regarding misleading information could, under many circumstances, be addressed by a disclaimer as simple as: ‘The evidence in support of this claim is inconclusive.’ The court also ruled that the FDA’s unwillingness to define ‘significant scientific agreement’ was a violation of the Administrative Procedures Act, in that the agency did not provide a clear standard that notified manufacturers of the FDA’s requirements, nor did it create a sufficiently clear standard upon which the FDA’s determinations could be reviewed. Comments on the proposed rule argued in light of Pearson that the FDA may not issue a final rule that prohibits disease claims but rather must choose the less restrictive alternative of permitting such claims, provided that they are accompanied with disclaimers.”[i]
