Strange that one of the biggest arguments for prescription medication over herbals and natural methods is that they’ve been thoroughly tested and studied and are safer than the alternatives.

The medical and scientific communities have deemed it so and they would lie to us, would they? They just have our best interests at heart and don’t have anything to gain by lying, do they?

But what with the things we’ve seen lately, it’s just so much buffalo chips....

Please do not insult harmless buffalo chips which, when dried thoroughly, burn with a clean flame. Or compost, to enrich the soil!

Herbs unless used in great quantities, or with practically willful blindness, can cause very, very little harm, if any.

Pharmaceuticals?

How many tens of thousands die every year from side effects, wrong medication, wrong combinations with other drugs, etc?

There is not one single prescription drug on the market with an active patent, that does not have a long list of potentially fatal side effects that are stronger and more probable than the ‘indication’ for which it is generally prescribed.
