Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Mon, 2 May 2005 11:42:20 +0200 To: " Sepp Hasslberger " <sepp Fwd: Natural Database eUPDATE and eCE I got a slight shock today reading my email. A medical doctor I know asked his friend Jeff Jellin, editor of Pharmacist's Letter and Prescriber's Letter, to send me a copy of their recently established Natural Database Update, which I append here below. It seems to me that despite its innocuous sounding name " NATURAL MEDICINES COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE " , the data are seriously slanted AGAINST any natural alternatives to conventional medicine. Please do follow the links in the message below, but especially look into their " Clinical Management Series " on http://naturaldatabase.com/ to get an idea of where they are going. This message is just meant as a " heads up " on the existence of this database. I do not know what, if anything, can be done about the information contained in it, which in my view is quite slanted.
