Site of the Day for Tuesday, February 18, 2003
Information Resource: About Herbs, Botanicals and Other Products
The ongoing interest in alternative medicine, particularly that which
focuses on "natural remedies", is often an area where reliable and
trustworthy information is difficult to track down. Today's site is from
the Integrated Medicine Service at the renowned and respected Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
"This web site provides objective information for oncologists and
healthcare professionals, including a clinical summary for each agent and
details about constituents, adverse effects, interactions, and potential
benefits or problems. Evaluations of alternative or unproved cancer
therapies are also provided. Our Integrative Medicine Service's staff, led
by an oncology-trained pharmacist, developed this web site which is
continually updated as relevant data comes to light." - from the website
The site offers both searchable and browsable capabilities and presents
material for each herb or botanical under such headings as clinical
summary, purported uses, constituents, mechanism of action, warnings,
adverse reactions and drug interactions among others.
Gentle Members in need of an authoritative reference to check out the
latest wonder herb, may consider adding this site to their bookmark
collection.
