I agree with much of what you have said. Many people are attracted to the so called natural herbs and supplements because it sounds better. But tho I have wondered if I should try some, I have stayed away for the most part becasue I feel too ignorant to evaluate what supplements and how to take. I am impressed with the knowledge I have seen on this board--people like you have really taken the time to research what these things are, how they work. And have made educated choices about whether to use them. You are right about the need to study them rigorously. Because the prescription I take have been studied, and because I am taking them under supervision of an expert, who also listens to my feedback about my experience on them, I feel safer sticking to the conventional medicine route. Tho I do regularly use zinc lozenges for colds, which I find really work.
