> I have a mother who wants to take Garcinia Camboga to help loose weight. She saw this on Dr OZ. I know it is never good for a mother to do anything drastic with her weight when nursing a baby, but I was wondering if it was safe. The baby has no health problems and is 8 months old. Mom is back to work and is nursing twice a day.

Hmmm....

With all my love for the herbal medicine I will have to chime here.

1. Anything coming from Dr. Oz is... a negative factor for me
2. Anything promising wonder effects (i.e. loosing weight in a snap) is 
definitely a negative factor
3. Anything with origins that can not be verified (i.e. non-regulated 
herbal supplements, especially coming from abroad) is an absolute 
negative factor
