I recently read an article in the June 4, 2007 issue of Time magazine called Buyer Beware: Taking an herbal supplement can sometimes do more harm than it does good. With the huge market of consumers in this space, it's pretty scary that so many people are putting things into their bodies that they know nothing about. Taking any medication or supplement without consulting your doctor first (even if it is over the counter) should be common practice, even if it does say "natural" on the product. Hey, we all know about those naturally occurring but deathly poisonous mushrooms. We wouldn't eat those if we knew the consequences, would we?
