Americans are overprescribed, overdosed, and overcharged for medicine. A hundred years ago, American herbalists taught the world; today they’re banned and censored by the pharmaceutical cartel. Humans and herbs haven’t changed, but our needs and understanding have. It’s time to examine how conventional and  herbal medicines are similar, how they differ, and what they can learn from each other. 

 

• Is the typical randomized clinical trial (RCT) the “gold standard” of medical evidence?

• How does dosage alter results and toxicity, both for groups and individual patients?

• What are the common factors in drug-drug, herb-drug, and food-drug interactions?

• How do we procure more safe and affordable options for individual patient needs?

• Why do herbalists use small doses of many ingredients? Can they be effective?

• What evidence should we consider in evidence-based medicine (EBM)?

• Should the government restrict individual health choices?
