Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Those are some good remedies for the most part - although I would not agree at all with the selection as being the " best 55 " because a great many important and effective ones are missing. I would disagree with the statement of " herbs will not replace pharmaceuticals " unless one is talking about economics or mainstream approval, but then the quote is from an integrative MD., and that is what they taught and what they preach. I would say that " Pharmaceuticals won't replace Nature in terms what is safer, gentler, less expensive and often more effective. oleander soup , robert-blau wrote: > > The 55 Best Herbal Remedies > by Michael Castleman, Natural Health > > Not long ago, American herbalists had to rely on folklore and anecdote. > There was little clinical data on herbs, and what did exist was mostly > published in German.
