Before any advice for herbal/vitamin/minerals is given a record must be made of any medications taken, this could be life threatening if people take advice from someone who is not medically trained.

A lady was near death last week in the hospital that I work. A friend told her to drink chamomile tea, which she did, she had severe thinning of the blood, she was taking Warfarin.

Seems like your lady! and one other (Canadian)

in the world had this reaction :rolleyes:

Of course it couldn't be that she had been prescribed too much Warfarin (which causes severe thinning of the blood) so much that blood levels need to be constantly monitored sometimes daily .............. it's the............. Chamomile Tea!!

or maybe if Chamomile tea does thin the blood she could have been prescribed Tea instead of Warfarin with all its side effects!

Medically "trained " people caused at least 27,700 Deaths with ONE SAFE drug in the USA alone!
If Vitamin D had caused say five deaths you would not be able to buy it!!!!.

THAT IS TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND (you can keep the odd 700) D E A T H S through prescribing ONE approved Drug Vioxx from medicaly trained people.
You sure have........... ball'Z to have written your post !

but as you say

"this could be life threatening if people take advice from someone who is not medically trained."

Before taking any remedies, it makes sense to do your own research, and it makes sense to talk it over with any medical personnel that you trust.

I check out any medication prescribed by a doctor, and I wouldn't take any alternative therapies without checking them out as well.
