Then why the disclaimer on the bottle, i.e., "These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This Product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease". Present on every one of these "natural" remedies.
Don't get me wrong, I've tried some of this stuff myself, but I just despise all of these claims for unproven products. Have you seen the price for SAM-E? Migod! I think it's only fair to ask for some proof (other than anectodal stories, which may be based on placebo effects) that the stuff actually does what it claims to do. It really makes me think of the old carnival barkers and "miracle" cures at times.
