[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1188556, member: 13978"] Sorry, what do you think it is you're taking if it's not a drug? Drugs are just a purer form of supplement, without all the unnecessary and potentially harmful things. Just like a drug, it has serious side effects and that's why it's not a good idea to self-prescribe or recommend it to others. Not safe during pregnancy, as has been known to cause abortion in animals, can cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea, anaemia, not safe before or after surgery. Just because it's 'natural' doesn't mean it's any safer, that's a very simplistic assumption. Also, a one-person trial of a substance doesn't prove anything, however confident you are, that's not how medicine works. If drug companies did trials like that and then started recommending drugs to people based on that, there would be an outcry, and rightly so. [/QUOTE]
