Ann, all of my comments are general and do not reflect on your comments about this book. I know you did not advocate use of this book. First, why would we consider this the PDR of Herbal Medicine? The PDR is published by people knowledgeable about drugs. Why wouldn't an Herbal PDR be published by those who know about herbs? Also, since we know the PDR provides insufficient, even inaccurate info about bf'ing--why would we assume this would be the resource for herbs and bf'ing? Finally, since the info you quoted from the book is flat out wrong about bf'ing--I am certain I wouldn't rely on it for anything.
