RE: PFAs in local drinking water - j.p. - 01-16-2020 What is a common herb ? RE: PFAs in local drinking water - k.d. - 01-16-2020 All the ones mentioned in your medicinenet link are common. Echinacea, for example, has been used by injuns for centuries to help the immune system and to avoid colds & flu. RE: PFAs in local drinking water - j.p. - 01-16-2020 I have no issues with herbal medicine. My point is was that there are risks and side effects with all medicines. Many times what makes the herbs safer is the lower dose of the drug that comes naturally. Echinacea never worked for me. But I believe in the power of placebo. RE: PFAs in local drinking water - k.d. - 01-16-2020 Again, I have never seen an herb that comes with a 'side effect' warning.

That's an FDA thing. "Echinacea can cause liver toxicity" from medicinenet RE: PFAs in local drinking water - k.d. - 01-16-2020 When used with other Big Pharma products. I challenge you to find one case of echinacea alone harming the liver. RE: PFAs in local drinking water - j.p. - 01-16-2020 It was a stand alone statement. Why would they make it ? I never said echinacea was dangerous. But what do you think are the medicinal functions of echinacea, magic ? RE: PFAs in local drinking water - k.d. - 01-16-2020 https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-981/echinacea Do you think willow bark has any magical qualities? History of aspirin aspect of history The history of aspirin begins with its synthesis and manufacture in 1899. Before that, salicylic acid had been used medicinally since antiquity. Medicines made from willow and other salicylate-rich plants appear in clay tablets from ancient Sumer as well as the Ebers Papyrus from ancient Egypt. Hippocrates referred to their use of salicylic tea to reduce fevers around 400 BC, and were part of the pharmacopoeia of Western medicine in classical antiquity and the Middle Ages. Willow bark extract became recognized for its specific effects on fever, pain and inflammation in the mid-eighteenth century. By the nineteenth century pharmacists were experimenting with and prescribing a variety of chemicals related to salicin, the active component of willow extract. How about the Poppy seed? How about marijuana? All these wonderful plants and herbs and flowers, and roots, and leaves and stems were given to us by Nature for specific reasons. RE: PFAs in local drinking water - j.p. - 01-16-2020 Yes, wonderful plants AND animals were given to us for specific reasons. One of those reasons is for the manufacture of medicine. RE: PFAs in local drinking water - k.d. - 01-16-2020 Yup, just like Mother Nature intended. Take something natural and turn it into a synthetic. SHEESH! Wasn't this thread about shit in your water from manufacturing? |
