FYI 2/3/99 Heard a blurb on the Dr. Dean Edell (USA) radio show today (yes, I'm a radio talk show junkie when I'm in the car - I commute 1 hr each way). He said do not use any herbs in pill form from Asia. There have been many cases of arsenic and lead poisoning, he said. Chinese authorities are even passing laws regulating the trade due to this problem, he said. P.S. Thanks to the Dr. Laura listeners (there were quite a few of you) who responded with website, phone, fax, and snail mail. I guess we are a moral group.
