DRIED POMEGRANATE

I saw these dried pomegranate slices at the Farmer's Market when I went there during the weekend.  According to the information given by the vendor, the pomegranate can be made into a drink which is supposed to have curative properties for allergies, piles, asthma, diabetes, hypertension and some other illnesses.
Hmm ... don't you agree that there are a lot of people selling stuff that they claim to be remedies for ailments like diabetes and hypertension.  The question that begs to be answered is, "Does the herbal remedy work?"
