Re: So back to the thread...

I am calling blindness minor in comparision to death is what I was trying to say. And I will go ahead and edit it to read straightly too. :)

And yes, throwing up is not a desirable occupation in my book. I really cannot think of anyone that says "boy I love throwing up!!". lol But if you take too much lobelia your body is going to reject it and that is what is going to happen. I was taking it for a pinched nerve in my back (worked EXTREMELY well as long as I was not going overboard--which I have a tendency to do). Throwing up and getting out of your system what you do not need is not a bad thing however, it was just not a desirable side effect for me. Still, one of the few I have ever experienced from herbs. I was just trying to point out my personal experiences in relation to drugs and that herbal reactions are mild and minor in comparision to poisionious toxins. Not to mention occur fairly rarely, I mean in years of taking herbs to throw up twice? Pretty good odds.

I like Dr. Schulze 's Male Formula and Super Ginseng formula, that is what my husband took long ago (I am female you see :) I cannot recall if Dr S's MF has Yohimbe or not but I believe it does. Being in an achohol tincture form may eliminate any issues possibly as my husband never had a moments problem, or else he would have stopped taking it immediately I am sure! Or possibly just the blend compliments each other, and other times it depends on what part of the plant is used. Usually herbs in their whole form cause no problems. Ma Huang for example was one of the most effective cold remedies, but extracting a mere part of it--ephedra, caused some problems. It also caused too much competition because you will notice they took ephedra off the market but certainly not the drug Sudafed, long name is sudafephedrine with one of the key ingredients being ephedra. Sudafed kills more than 150 people per year but you certainly don't hear anyone putting up a stink about it now do ya!! :P
