I read in the Blogsphere just the other day that the herb cohosh was attributed to directly cause three deaths. There is also dozens of reported deaths reported yearly due to the use of suppliments containing herbs which contain ephedra, including "ma huang" or Ma-Wong, and it is believed some deaths which are reported a stroke or heart attack can be also attributed to the use of herbs and suppliments. http://74.125.95.132/search?q=cache:...&gl=us&strip=1 http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/content/39/3/24.full http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/fe...3/ephedra.html Very stupid people... -- Bob Officer Posting the truth http://www.skeptics.com.au |
