>>My issue is that I do not think his book should be a source used by HCPs
for herbal information. I do not ask allopathic providers about their use
of herbs--I ask naturopaths and herbalists. IMO, the methodology used to
assess western drugs is sorely lacking and allows many dangerous products on
the market (AIM is a good example). I have no desire to see herbs evaluated
in the same way. I would rather see a holistic evaluation applied to all
substances.<<
Jennifer, I was explaining Hale's rating, not defending it. I do not use it
as my definitive source on herbs, either.
