If that's the standard, then l-ornithine and l-arginine would have to be considered drugs as well. They've been shown in studies to alter the secretion of GH. It's a matter of semantics, I guess but I don't like to use the d word that loosely since it would cause many substances to be considered drugs when they don't really have that connotation |
nope... both that you mentioned are found in foods naturally occurring without manipulation. The stuff in dicana are hormones, not found in foods. The thyroid synthesizes stuff in food to turn into the stuff in dicana. |
According to the second definition in that quote "(2) : a substance intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease", all sorts of things would apply, including herbs, aminos, homeopathic remedies, bach flower remedies, etc. That's my point...it's too broad a definition.

Yup.
"A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage." - Wiki

Bump, mofos.  I agree with this... "There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage."
