I'm all for Herbal products too. Kevin Trudeau, an "unsuccessful defendant in several FTC lawsuits", whom I highly admire despite the lurking controversies, has discussed a number of alternatives in his renowned books: Natural Cures They" Don't Want You To Know About and More Natural Cures Revealed.

One of the supplements 'acidophillus', which is among his recommendations, has been miraculous to me. The only, but a huge downside is -- these things, in most cases TAKE TIME to prove right. For those with less patience, including myself ---- using herbal medicine is a teeth-grinding task.

Bottom line; Regardless of what FDA tells, Herbal medicines are a great 'available' option for the ones that have patience, desire, and faith on alternative medicines.
