MEG UMANS was thinking about St. John's Wort and keyed into cyberspace:
MU>-> SA>MP> The three-year study will involve 336 patients with major
MU>-> SA>MP> depression, of  whom one-third will receive a 900 milligram
MU>-> (mg) SA>MP> daily dose of St.  John's wort, one-third will receive
MU>-> a placebo, SA>MP> and one-third will  receive a selective
MU>-> serotonin reuptake SA>MP> inhibitor.
MU>->    I was actually trying to figure out if they were really trying
MU>-> to test it
MU>-> or setting it up for failure.  From your answer, I presume you
MU>-> can't help me...oh, well.
MU>Sounds like a setup to me, Sue.  Note that the people in the trial
MU>are people with major depression.  St. John's Wort has been
MU>demonstrated elsewhere to work for people with minor depression.
We'll know if it really is safe and effective by really testing it by 
using subjects with major depression. 
Now, if it is successful, do you think that "they" will suppress the 
results and require Agent Moldy to ferret out the facts?
