Title: If you want to be afraid of herbs, read this book!
Product review: Very few helpful suggestions in this book. The authors are Pharmacists. They list side effects of herbs that would happen to maybe 1 in a billion people. They state that dandelion can cause, "Skin irritation... blockage of the digestive or biliary tract, gallbladder inflammation, gallstones" but on the SAME page say that it is used for "digestive complaints, gallbladder problems, to stimulate bile production". Now, why would you use a plant that helps with gallbladder problems if it causes them?? (by the way, it does not, I have much experience with this plant and have never had any side effects, nor has anyone I have spoke with). This book will do nothing but make you paranoid of about using herbs. If you want a good book, get "The New Age Herbalist" or anything by Rosemary Gladstar, Dr. James A. Duke or James Green. Peterson Field guides are also quite good.
