I am seeing more and more patients who have seen other "natural" providers who load the consumer up with LOTS of herbs and vitamins. One patient that I saw recently was taking 18 different products each with multiple herbs and vitamins inside. When I counted all that she was taking, she was consuming 138 different substances and was overdosing on Vitamin A!

First, if it is natural does NOT maen it is safe! Next, how can ANYONE possibly determine the intercations between so many substances. Third, would you listen to me as a doc if I sent you home with 138 prescriptions?

My suggestion? KISS. I tell it to myself every day. (Keep It Simple Stupid) If you need anything more than just a good diet and exercise, you need one or a few natural treatments. More than that is probably useless and very possibly dangerous! Miraculously when we stopped all of the 138 substances, the patient did much better!
