Re: Anecdote or case history?

[Guest guest]

Many years ago, when I was still a member of NIMH, there were two Yahoo groups set up - NIMH-Research and herbaltx. The herbaltx one was set up by Nigel Wynn and Waters specifically to collate case histories on particular therapeutic areas. Before Nigel sadly died I think that there was a research paper produced on herbal therapy of IBS. Is there anyone on this list that can remember that far back. Last post on either list was about 2008. Anyone know where is now?CheersGraham White, B.Sc. (Herb. Med.)

Mobile: 07740 766335 Ive emailed the WHO and

asked them for the adverse reactions reports re Echinacea – so hopefully theyll get back and ill share as soon as – however not sure if I emailed the right department – big organisation etc – we’ll see – others contact them too pleaseMy guess is the children that had adverse reactions were on a cocktail of pharma drugs and /or had chronic illness, they threw Echinacea into the mix and it go the blame (also what type of Echinacea “product†did they take –plant part? Was it a jelly sweet with aspartame and a dash of Echinacea extract? A lot of unknowns here – but the info is “classified†what a load of bullshit!gabriel From: ukherbal-list [mailto:ukherbal-list ] On Behalf Of susan fidlerSent: 22 August 2012 21:46To: ukherbal-list Subject: Re: Re: MHRA advises Echinacea not be given to children under 12 Indubitably!

It looks like the Yahoo group, herbaltx still exists. See:

True. I haven't signed up but I was hoping there might be some

useful cases in the archives. Has anyone taken a look?
