Nikki notes,

<< At a conference once, someone
 tossed out the fact that as many as 70% of women in the US are depressed at
 one time or another. That is a horrendous situation. What about our lives
 makes us down? What is wrong with our society that so many women are down? >>

Oh Nikki, I don't think we even want to begin to go there....!!!  That is a
discussion for a whole 'nuther listserv & time....

I agree that people who feel they need St. John's Wort need to be seen by a
competent health professional rather than self medicating.  The point still
is, even if they are being seen, they need to know if they can take the
specific drug/herb/homeopathic remedy that has been recommended/prescribed.
And that's where we come in....

Jan Barger -- in Wheaton where the paper says 77 on Easter Sunday and the TV
weatherman says 60.  Who to believe?
