What scares me is the thought that just because a substance is found from a
"natural" source it must have some special powers that should exempt it
from the same testing that a "man-made" chemical should have. It brings to
mind the quacks of the old days when extracts from crude oil (itself a
"natural substance") were to be ingested to solve any number of ailments.
