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?
