It's clear there used to be pharmaceuticals in herbal products but everything I

see now I trust to be clean because i think that most Chinese importers are

aware of the problem . I'm confused about the Xanax. Was it in the batches

sampled or not?

Is Warfarin a drug or a chemical compronent? it sounds like a drug.

Wayfarin is coumadin, a blood thinning drug. It needs to be carefully

monitored to avoid problems with bleeding.

Jim,

The Reishi monograph from AHP lists a study that reports a vasodilatory

and platelet inhibitory actions for it. Don't know if it compares it to

pharmaceuticals, but you may be able to extrapolate. The citation is:

Chen AW, Miles PG. 1996. Biomedical research and the application of

mushroom nutriceuticals from Ganoderma lucidum. In Royse DJ, editor.

Mushroom biology and mushroom products; 1996 Jun 9-12; University Park.

University Park: Penn State Univ. p 161-70.

Anyone know of any studies comparing the effectiveness of warfarin

[or aspirin] to any herbs?

Coleen:

 

Thanks. I know one company has tested their formulas again Western

cancer medications, etc; but they haven't done any real promotion or

full disclosure about their testing methods. I was hoping other

companies tested their formulas, too; or other studies like this

were around.
