They can be. There are so many and some can be a danger. before starting ANY new products, talk to your Doctor about them. Welcome to mylot. Have you read the guidelines? So many do not, and end up with problems. Be sure to add more to your discussions. Like this one, you could have said what you were thinking about taking, or asked for a herb that would help a certain condition. Have fun, play nice and post lots of good posts!

Thanks for the reply. But we know that we can't ask doctors about Herbal medicine since they wouldn't consider it a scientific cure to our illnesses. I know one herbal medicine that can cure or strengthen our white blood cells against dengue. A friend once smuggled in desperation, a bottle containing a liquid herb since the doctor advised him that they wouldn't recommend it. He would let his son drink some of it when nobody was in the room. His son got better within the day. The doctor got surprised and performed another test. They've found out that the boys white blood cells are much higher than the previous reading. This kind of herb is been around for ages already. Of course, if the medical institution will consider it, they wouldn't be making enough money with regards to this particular illnesses like flu/fever/dengue since people can just pluck it out from the ground. I wouldn't say the herb but it's a common wild plant.

I do not see why you do not want to name it. My mother was diabetic. She had a really good doctor. He would not just say no to any herb. She would bring in the info she had and he would discuss it with her. He was a rare find though I agree. I thought you meant commercial products, by the way. I have several books about plant use from my mom. I will look to see if there is something in them. She had lots of things marked in them. There are many websites and books that you can read to find these things out. I am sick today and I do not feel like doing a search. Something like this would take some time.
