Even more amazing to me is that so many people take western pharmaceutical medicines for such a long time and have no idea of the chemical actions of the drugs on themselves, the other drugs (how many elderly people in your practice are on multiples of pharmaceutical drugs) or anything else. These same people are terrified of herbs. I am not saying that we can overlook herbal chemistry and also drug interactions with herbs but I am constantly shocked by how people so easily take drugs and are so scared to go with more natural remedies even homeopathic.

 

Just a thought,
