Very interesting. It has been recommended to me to stay away from herbs, especially while on chemo. I have found someone who I believe is a very knowledgeable naturopath who is cancer specific and has been researching herbs and supplements for about 20 years in relation to cancer and chemo. He works with me on supplementation and asked me at the outset to stay away from chinese herbs. Mostly because there just isn't enough research about them and there is no regulation on the growth, cultivation, and production of them... how does one (or their herbalist) know for sure that they are getting what they think they are getting?
Good info. Thanks for the post!
