ST. JOHNS WORT GIVES A BLACK EYE TO SUPPLEMENTS

My expereience is that St John’s Wort is not very effective, even though it has been proven to be helpful for some cases of depression. Every time there is a negative study, as there was last month on using it for ADHD, the press concludes that supplements don’t work. St. John’s Wort is not only fairly weak but it has side effects like antidepressant drugs and many interactions to watch. There are many other natural therapies that work better. As my friend Al Czap, who edits the Alternative Medicine Review, says, St. John’s Wort doesn’t work for a bloody foot either!
