Of course not all herbs are 100% safe and good for you. But infomercials like that rely on the ignorance of the "lower/middle class" who are looking for the quick and easy (lazy) route to improving themselves and their life. They're willing to believe anything that they're told, if there is even a small chance that the claims this unknown stranger on TV tells them is true. Deep down, they know it's a load of crap, but their first thought is "what if it's true!".

Infomercials really bother me, because I see them is a huge measuring stick of how much like sheep our society is becoming...
