Not all studies favor drugs you know. A number of studies have found for instance, that SJW is actually superior to conventional antidepressants, both in terms of side effects and in terms of theraputic effect.
What I think is irrational, is how a study funded by Pfizer, can state that SJW is not effective, when infact that comparitor drugs Zoloft performs worse.
The study even dared to say something allong the lines, of.... "Patients with depression should not us SJW, intead they should talk to their doctor about approved treatment options."
(approved....what like zoloft???)
It has been my experience that SJW is generally a more effective antidperessant. Although, proponents of alterantive medicine are made to feel like freaks, because a lot of the true data like this is supressed.Ok, so its not sythetic. But it works for me, and I have had far fewer serious adverse effects related to its use.
