We also don't know how many hospitalizations are from reactions and side effects to herbs and supplements mostly because there not known it could be even highier. I wounder how many hospitalizations there are of people in terrible shape because they waited to long to get medical help because they thought they could cure themselves with herbs or supplements? No matter how crappy some regulations seem some is certainly better then none. I would love to see people who bash medicines go there whole live only ever using herbs and supplements and then see how that goes. There is good and bad with everything but at least we know what can happen with medicines vs herbs and supplements. These medicines people want to complain about save lives and make lives better. I take the risk of the side effects my depression, anxiety, and OCD meds have because it makes life a bit more bare able. I take birth control pills even with the side effects because I bleed for a full year ended up anemic and sent to the hospital for a blood transfusion but luckily I had been on the iron pills for enough days to work enough. I also take one that only gives me periods every three months and take the risk because having a period every month made me anemic again. I am willing to take the risks for a better life and my life is certainly not stellar but these meds have helped to make it better a livable.
