You'd be surprised the number of things in those herbs. True that they have medicinal qualities but certain ones do contain toxins that, in low doses don't do anything but the moment you take too many you could end up with a trip to the hospital. Dont' get me wrong, I'm all for herbal remedies and such but, just like all things in life, don't over do it in one shot. The only reason we see so many cholestrol reducing drugs is because the demand and need for them is so ridiculously high. With so many obese people, it's a no brainer that cholestrol levels are going through the roof at a dangerous rate. The thing that a lot of people don't know, is that a lot of peole are on these medications take a very small dose. My dad is on Lipitor and he only takes a quarter of a pill every other day (less than 150 mg for two days). And another thing about the whole "nothing but natural" mentality. I'm all for doing things naturally, but the moment anyone applies it to vaccines and such, then I'm going to slap them across the head. Any parent that doesn't want to vaccinate their babies is out of their mind. Babies are only protected by their parents antibodies for the first 6 months, and after that they're very vulnerable to viruses. So yeah, there's my plug for early vaccinations and be-wary-of-nothing-but-herbal schpiel. Like all things in life, moderation in everything.

Yeah, Mugu, I guess I just subconciously needed to go nuts again. Just maintaining a healthy level of craziness .
