It does sound like Amazon is pushing drugs, according to the FDA:

From one of their product descriptions on the website:

"The properties of the Ipe Roxo tea are: tremendous astringent qualities, excellent for cauterization, has great antiseptic powers, unique ability for tissue regeneration and cell control, able to stop bleeding of internal lower organs, control all cases of diarrhea with catarrh, the ability to heal ulcers of the stomach,intestines, colon, etc., and to hemorrhoidal veins and estomatites."

<<<<Under DSHEA, the FDA is generally prohibited from regulating the active ingredients in dietary supplements as drugs unless product claims, such as claims that a product may heal, mitigate, cure or prevent an illness, disease or malady, trigger drug status >>>>

Looks pretty clear to me. Amazon products, as described on their website, should be classified as drugs and not as nutritional supplements.

Looks like you found a potential problem, but let's give AZNT the benefit of the doubt. I suggest we pass on the info to the FDA and let them tell us for sure if that information is criminally negligent. As they are selling via the net, I think we'd better inform the FTC as well, just to be safe.
