her endorsement.
Thats the problem with most of the MD pharma endorsements. placebo works as well or better.
The white coat has heavy mojo.
Herbs on the other hand have been endorsed by thousands of practitioners over dozens or more of generations.
Which do you trust?

you be the judge as to the value of testimonial evidence:
"NBC's Dateline has broadcast the results of an undercover investigation
in which an infomercial producer was asked to create an infomercial for
an alleged skin moisturizer called "Moisturol." Even though the producer
was told that there was no scientific evidence that the product worked,
he agreed to create an infomercial complete with a medical endorser and
testimonials from allegedly satisfied users. After the infomercial was
completed, the investigators confronted the participants, most of whom
(including the doctor) had not even tried the product. Six of the seven
"satisfied customers" were actresses who received $50. Margaret Olsen,
M.D., a dermatologist who practices in Los Angeles, received $5,000 for
her endorsement. The participants did not know that the product was a
fake that had been made from Nestle's Quick (a powdered chocolate drink
mix). The text and video of the investigation are posted on NBC's Web
site. [From the inside out: If you had a questionable product, how hard
would it be to find someone to make an infomercial and sell your product
to millions? Dateline decided to find out. Dateline, Sept 15, 2006]
