Another problem with medications is that a lot of the studies done on them
are very selective as to who is in the study. They know in advance what the
possible side effects may be and then choose folks who statistically,
historically, medical history-wise won't get the side-effects.
The statins mentioned in the article are just such a medication. The
studies done on them showed few side-effects. The results IRL are that well
over 15% of the folks who take prescription statins have *serious*
side-effects--muscle paralysis, amnesia, severe liver problems, CANCER, etc.
And Big-Pharma has worked real hard to keep the studies linking them to
cancer well buried!

This article is in today's Washington Post and cerns not only danger with
mixing medications, but also supplements and over the counter meds. I
have had more than one of the reactions in the article myself (blood
thinner, aspirin, & something else, & the doc forgot to tell me, at first,
to quit taking niacin -- which I had taken for years-- when I started
statins). Soemone well educated on plants and supplements like Roxanne or
Susan Jane probably know all of this stuff, but it is hard for me to keep
up with allpossible interactions.........................
