[QUOTE="technetium-99m, post: 2121449, member: 3615"] No need to yell the word professional at me, but your statements regarding insect venom are just plain wrong. Also, dabbing acetic acid on a sting that hurts because it has acetic acid in it does not make logical sense. Lots of this stuff is great, many uses for menthol, camphor, etc. But a lot of these recipes have absolutely no basis in real science. Goldenseal in particular is not to be messed with if you take any other medications. Several independent papers have been published that show goldenseal causes wild changes in the way your liver metabolizes certain drugs. This can result in you getting a massive overdose of your regular medication because your body doesn't get rid of it normally. There is one alkaloid in particular found in goldenseal preparations that has shown promise in real research, but the amount of berberine present varies from prep to prep and I'd actually be shocked if the facilities making the stuff even have the equipment for quantifying it. Just giving my "professional," opinion. [/QUOTE]
