I agree Laura, but you do have to be very careful. Right after I got TM, I saw an ad for a herbal supplement for TM that came from Hong Kong through a company in London. I sent for it and took it for several months. I did not noticed any problems or benefits, but then one of my doctors had me do a a liver test. They found my liver enzymes were in terrible shape. As soon as I stopped the drug, my enzymes went back to normal. I am so glad the doctor did a routine check, or who knows how much damage I might have done. The one good thing is that the company did refund all the money I had spent on the drug.

While I do believe that 99.8% of all "cures" out there are pure bunk, Big Pharma has a lot fo pull and they go out of their way to discredit anything natural. Do you know that there's an actual treatment that can almost cure CP if the chold is young enough? Pure oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber. There was a big study done in Quebec, but because no meds were needed, just oxygen, they pulled the plug on it. While it was a double-blind study, it wasn't hard to figure out who was getting O2 vs. air...kids who were completely immobile were walking and talking. My roomate was a student shadow and her student was in this trial, but on the placebo. Parents had to pay through the nose to go have it done in another province privately. So yes, there are sometimes cures that people don't know about because the pharma companies go out of their way to discredit and bash them so that people mistrust. My first question to myself is usually, can it hurt to try? If there's riskm, then yes, I'd be weary, but if it's something that wouldn't harm me regardless, bring it on.
