Comfrey

[Guest guest]



When my daughter was pregnant with her last child and sitting in her high risk doctors office waiting to see him she came across this information.

 

"10 people have died in the last 10 years from herbs" How does this compare to well over 100,000 per year that die from pharmaceutical drugs?

I wish I had the name of the magazine but I don't.

 

Dr. Christopher used comfrey in a large variety of his products for over 100 years until the FDA forced them to change their formulas. No one ever died or had liver problems from taking comfrey internally in all those years. I have been drinking green drinks every morning for 20 years or more, especially in the summer and I always put comfrey in my drink "in the season thereof".

 

It looks like Russian comfrey is the main culprit and we don't have easy access to it.

Again, I must protest about misinformation being put out about Comfrey. One small study in rats back in 1978 hardly proves that Comfrey is carcinogenic. it far from proves this. Comfrey is safe to be used both externally and internally as long as it's not abused.i repeat that no plants are unsafe to use medicinally as long as they are used in the appropriate therapeutic dosage and that they are being used for the appropriate indicated conditions.With over 700,000 people a year dying from prescription drug use and medical errors in the US alone I don't enjoy seeing the safety of herbal medicne being misrepresented."There are two ways to live your life.
