Yeah exactly.
I mean, 'Many drugs recommended by health shops to tackle depression have no sound scientific backing,'
well thats a load of nonsense! I doubt your magnesium which helped you has any 'sound scientific backing' - but that doesn't mean its a) not safe and b) ineffective.Its absolutely ludricous to assume that just because an 'alternative' treatment doesn't have 'any sound scientific backing' doesn't work. The reason these alternatives don't have the science to back them up is that they're not profitable to Big Pharma because they're unpatentable, not because they don't work!!
Anyway there are loads of Postive Commission E monographs covering all kinds of herbs for depression and various ailments.
I think this study is completely ludicrious.
