Today I spoke to a patient that I have not spoken to in a very long time and it reminded me of a really important issue.

Taking herbs on your own can truly upset the balance in your body. If you are not under the care of a professional and are taking supplements and are experiencing concerning symptoms, you should consult with someone who can shed light on the situation. This person had ongoing symptoms and in addition had actual changes in her blood work that may be an indication of an actual disease and, in my opinion, this could have been caused by self treating in a very unbalanced way for a long period of time.

It is very important to understand what the effects are of supplements you are taking and how they should be combined and how long they should be used, etc…

So, be careful.
