 | | It's my belief that the future of medicine is rooted in the past, before chemists undertook to synthesize synthetic silver bullets for all that ails, and before pharmaceutical companies hitched our collective health to what has become for them a multibillion-dollar wagon. |
 | | I'm also rather convinced that, when it comes to combating migraines, oral feverfew, even with its own potential side effects (i.e., canker sores, gastrointestinal distress), is safer, if not more efficacious--at least at prevention, and prevention is better than cure--than either of the leading, competing pharmaceuticals. |
 | | And even if it is a phytochemical drug--some 25% to 40% of all pharmaceuticals are plant derived--its active compounds may behave very differently outside of their "natural habitat" and in proportions not known in the wild. |
