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.

 

Kind regards

Sepp
