Just to bring back the topic of doctors not knowing much about herbs, I am majoring in Medicine (Pharmacist), got a long way to go through still, but am getting there. What I have heard from pharmacists is that from the 4 years in Medicine school, they only take 1 month learning about herbs.
I went to my general doctor once, when I was taking Breast Actives, which resulted in an irregular period, when I asked her if it could have been Breast Actives that could have caused such irregularity (since that is the only thing I was taking), she just told me, "you take this at your own risk" and THAT WAS IT. It is more of an herbalist you need; I have not seen any yet, but most likely will since I want to offer my future patients knowledgeable decisions from both sides (drugs and herbs).
My dad loves herbs and learning about them. He has diabetes and will NEVER take any drugs for it. He said he did not feel well at all when he was taking the drugs so he used his knowledge of herbs to build his own program. You see him completely fine everyday. You cannot even tell he has diabetes I often ask him, "how are you doing with the diabetes" and he is like "what diabetes?" Lol
