Accepted Answer

Get real Rx: Herbals remedies are at best an adjunct to 21st-century treatment of a complicated chronic disease. Please get with your physician if over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide has not worked.

Question 8

Question 9

i have a very good health food store with a knowledgeable owner. if she suggests a certain root or herb, can i use it safely for crohn's disease?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: As reputable & knowledgable about herbs as this store owner may appear to be, in all probability she doesn't know as much about crohn's as your physician. Some "herbal" or "natural" products have real potential to harm you. Short of weighing the purchased herb, she won't fully know the potency of active ingredient(s), unanticipated contaminants, risks of allergic reaction, bleeding & crohn's flares.

Question 10

are root dandelion capsules good for treating acne?

Accepted Answer

Use a real Rx: I'm sorry somebody is trying to sell you something that's probably a placebo. Acne is a serious, chronic, non-lifestyle-related disease that eventually remits on its own. It's a serious personal and professional liability. If topical benzoyl peroxide as tolerated hasn't cleared you in two weeks, get with your personal physician.
