Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hi all, Taken from: http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/uknews/news20050822.shtml#3 In a story only reported in the Times and the Daily Mail, it has emerged that the herb butterbur is as effective as an antihistamine in controlling hay fever, a trial in Germany and Switzerland has shown. In a trial involving 330 patients at 11 centres, around 30% of patients on either the antihistamine Fexofenadine, or the herb butterbur made a complete recovery. Clear improvement was shown by 39% of those on the antihistamine and by 26% of those on butterbur, according to Phytotherapy Research. Warm regards, Attilio D'Alberto Doctor of (Beijing, China) B.Sc.

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest - - a kind of optical illusion in his consciousness.
