Thanks, sibylok. I pretty much agree with you. These are indeed poisons we are takings, just enough to kill the bad guys and not hurt us - hopefully. People should be aware that herbs such as Wormwood (absinthe) are not completely safe. I can handle the cloves and Black-Walnut , but the "psychoactive" effect of Wormwood is alarming.
As I've taken a lot of the Clarkia -formula stuff and have yet to see any results, my cost/benefit concerns are high. My goal, if possible, is to seek out effective treatments that have the least adverse effects.
