YOUR ARTICLE REVEALS AN IMPORTANT danger of accepting at face value supplement manufacturers' claims that their products are all natural and must be safe because they have been used for years. While the Chinese (or Indians, or South Sea Islanders) may have used an herbal product for a thousand years, they were not simultaneously using immune suppressants, blood thinners, or any of a host of other modern, lifesaving pharmaceuticals.
