Regarding suggesting medications and herbs

**Emily** · 24-02-2009, 22:42

Please use care regarding recommending medications, whether over the counter, herbal, or otherwise, to other members. Different people react differently to different medications. There is always the chance for allergic reactions or drug interactions when mixing even what appears to be a simple herb with medications that someone is already taking, and this could be dangerous. For this reason, from this point on, such suggestions will automatically be removed from the forum for safety reasons.

Our suggestion is that one always speak with their own personal doctor about the options available for them, and always talk to them before following through with any suggestion that might have worked for someone else.

If you have any questions, dont hesitate to ask in the member concerns forum.

Thanks!
