This is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard! I just don't know how people can b so simple. Just because something is 'natural' or a herb does not just make it 'good'. Hemlock is just a root vegetable- and an incredibly deadly poison. Bella Donna is just a plant- and a deadly poison. Jipsom is just a plant that makes you feel like your face is melting off. Hell, Heroin is just some extract made from oozing out of a pretty flower. Cocaine is just some alkaloid found in a pretty green leaf.
I can go on and on and on, but if you don't get the point then I doubt more examples would help you. Plants often develop substances that effect bodies of animals TO MAKE THEM SICK OR KILL THEM SO NOTHING WILL EAT THEM! Finding a nest of poisonous vipers in the backyard is natural to pleanty of people. And a snakes neurotoxic venom is also 100% natural AND sterile- but I wouldn't recommend you sweetening your herbal tea with it either.
I'm so sick of people equating 'natural' with 'universally good' and chemicals and modern medicine 'bad'. Often even the amazing herbs that you speak of may be great in small doses, but they also can be really dangerous at higher doses. And many many many many of your herbs do have side effect-actually most of them do. Plus in the us they do not have to be evaluated or even tested to make sure what the bottle says is actually in the product!
Get a grip. Sure, many man made drugs do have issues. But we also live in a world today where you are lucky as hell that you can go around thinking that 'parents shouldn't have to put live their children' and don't have to go to bed each night hoping that they don't contract and infection or burn up with fever. It's not been too long- not even a century since it was just concidered a GIVEN that you were likely to lose 1/2 of your children. And that was in a time where people had on average 6-10 kids- so it's not that you would have to go through that horror just once- but over and over and over. And it still is that way in countless places. Hop on over to Africa and tell some mothers watching their babies die slowly in their arms and ask them if they would like an echansia herbal tea to give the child or would she like antibiotic or AIDS drugs? We cannot even imagine the horror that people went through before we had modern medicine. Not at all. So for the sake of all of those mothers who have lost their children or children whom have watched their parents die just because they couldn't get antibiotics in whatever land that God forgot or simply doesn't care about.
