This is a terrible story of FDA over reach. Sam Girod, a simple Amish farmer was making a wholesome natural salve and got cross with the FDA on labeling. The FDA ended up charging him with felony drug distribution and interstate drug distribution. This is entirely crazy.
I am not going to write a lot about this because I think that the Family Cow Blog pretty much covered the story. Here is a link to that article:

Mr. Girod of Owingsville, Kentucky lives on a farm with his wife, 12 children and 25 grandchildren. They practice a traditional Amish way of life and that includes the production of many healing herbal salves and remedies. The herbs that have been healing members of the Girod family for over a century cannot be put in bottles with the word healing on them, according to the FDA.
