[MPWG] troublesome PR in Nutra News

[Cafesombra at aol.com]

FYI  Nutra News today reported a need for educating physicians about  herbs 
used by plastic surgery patients.  They list the top four  "herbs" being used 
by those surveyed as chondroitin (sic), ephedra,  echinacea, and glucosamine 
(sic). 
It's amazing to me that this article made it past the editors of  this 
e-publication, when in fact, chondriotin and glucosamine are both  animal products.  
The article basically implies that patients are  using "herb" substances with 
unknown side effects without  physicians awareness, how very dangerous...
