If you are not informed as to the science of heavey metal effects in
humans, why would you assume your friends who prescribe these drugs to be
any more so?
Quoted message said:Presuming there's a rationale for the question, then it is a good one
and I'm sorry I don't know the answer yet. Haven't researched it. And
indeed, I'm not sure how much has been done in terms of safety studies
in humans. So DEFINITELY caution is advised. I merely wished to
distinguish these from, say, lead contamination or other contamination
that may enter a product.Bhasmas in general should NOT be used except under the care of someone
who knows how to use them properly and assure the preparation was
correct. Ayurvedic, Tibetan and Siddha physicians are not recognized
in the United States yet. However, I have friends who practice these
arts and, were it indicated, I would personally trust one of them to
prescribe and supply a bhasma.George M. Carter
