Am I the only one who finds the concept of having a "Minority health Site"
section of this website to be distasteful to say the least?

I find the American pronunciation of herb peculiar.

So, what this article shows is that a) nobody really knows what
portion of the population (U.S.) actually uses herbs (extremely large
variation in results suggesting poor set-up of data acquisition) and
that there are definite problems in quality control (just look at the
wide variation in ginsengoside between Ginseng products). Also, the
article suggests that there are many side effects associated with use
of herbals, that many patients donot tell their doctor or pharmacist
that they use such remedies and it can be difficult for individual
patients to get access to good quality information conerning the
herbals they want to use. Good article.

I thought it was and YES YES YES each patient should tell their MD what herbs
teyt are taking., in addition MD's should be responsive to this and not give
the ole eye roll, which is the reason people don't tell.

I would add also that the MDs have absolutely no training nor education
concerning herbals except to laugh at the use of them.

It would be like casting pearls before swine, right?
