I am not: trying to discount the beneficial effects of many herbal remedies however , my opinion only, you are taking far too many of these preparations and seem to be on mostly PSYCHO-ACTIVE drugs ...a frank discussion with your Primary Care Physician re: your present condition and perhaps a consultation with a PSYCHO-PHARMACOLOGIST is indicated! Hope this is helpful Dr Z

You are a mark: HOLY BASIL, BATMAN!!! You are an easy mark for scams taking advantage of you to steal your money. Sometimes it is tempting to try magic rather than face an unpleasant or difficult truth. Your best welfare will derive from discarding every one of these useless pos and spending your money on something fun or useful.
