Question 8

is burdock a vasodilator?

Accepted Answer

Unknown: The national institutes of health center for complementary and alternative medicine has no listing for burdock. Webmd does but doesn't comment on mechanism. Be aware that some formulations of burdock contain belladonna which is poisonous if overdosed. Unlikely that the mechanism of burdock has ever been systemically studied as no one would pay for it. This is the problem with all otc herbs.

Question 9

my sgot is 46 (up to 36), sgpt is 58 (up to 45), gamma gt 55 (up to 43). it has always been slightly elevated. it could be due to the green tea extract and burdock tea that i drink. is it a concern?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it could be related to tea.
Regardless of that it is convenient to rule out all the other causes that may be causing that elevation in the enzymes. I recommend to visit a medical internist.
If all the other causes are ruled out you can stop taking the tea and have the enzymes checked after 2 weeks.
Have a great day.

Question 10

why and when is root channeling necessary?

Accepted Answer

For pain: Root canal work is a dental procedure in which the main nerve in the center of each root of a tooth is dug out under anesthesia and cement is put in place.  This prevents infection from channeling down the canal and entering the jaw which can be quite painful.  It is usually done after an episode of pain in a particular tooth.
