A must read for people using natural and pharmaceutical medicines ( senjis )
Pharmaceuticals have side effects, mostly bad except for the one you're relying upon to make you feel better. Herbal remedies have side effects, mostly good. Sometimes using pharmaceuticals along with herbal remedies creates a time bomb. Your physician and/or pharmacist doesn't always know how your new prescription may rock the boat or in some cases capsize it altogether. I'd worked in the natural remedy industry for 10 years, pretty much ignored drug-herb interactions, and had a new pharmaceutical prescription. I picked up a copy of this book we had in our office and discovered that the drug could cause fatalities if used in conjunction with a very common herbal remedy, one I'd used frequently. Thanks, Mr. Brinker for bringing this vital info to mainstream users!
