> Hi Jerry,
Sorry to but in, however although I'm not fully aware of medicine and 
herbals I've heard of companies like Rexall that have a huge line of 
Herbal remedies.  I think one of the reason is not only for the obvious 
sales of the product outright but also of the fact of the lack of 
intrusive side effects.  Many of the medicines that we take are docile 
but many that we do _can_ effect us powerfully.  I don't know if the 
claims that these are capable of getting people off of ritelin (sp?) or 
others is valid.
    
So many people throw the baby out with the bath water.  Finally, M.D.s 
are working with chiropractors, not all but many are.  This type of 
awarness is giving us open doors.
