Hasn't this been known since at least the 90's?

Maybe they're charitable folks, and they're hoping someone close to Joe Biden might see it...

LOL! Must be working great for your memory then.

“They” scare you away from this if you take Warfarin (Coumadin, etc.).

[JZelle]

For sure, I’m still using their melamine toothpaste.

[nickcarraway]

You would only still be prescribes Warfarin in a few cases now, right? Like if you have mechanical valves, for instance. Hillary was still taking it in 2016.

Why am I thinking of the Tom Waits song “Step Right Up”?

[posterchild]

The soybean is also from east asia but i never read of the soybean as a ‘cheap asian vegetable.’

[meatloaf]

It’s well known in Europe where the AMA doesn’t rule.

Look for a copy of the German Commission E Monologues on eBay which covers herbs. It tells which work and which are not efficacious. It includes the research studies with each herb.

Try Bacopa.... works as well or better. Plus many other proven uses

from Google Scholar site (many other research articles at that site)

Limitations: The text lacks references to the primary research, making it impossible for clinicians to independently assess the weight of the evidence for a particular indication. This is a direct result of the reporting system adopted by the commission, which used the available literature but removed the references before publication in Germany.
