> Brandon,
> I'm not sure if you saw, but there was some mainstream news this week about SJW interacting with other medicines. You may want to check out the Feb. 11 Associated Press article "Studies indicate St. John's wort may interfere with medications." Here's an address for the article at cnn.com:

jd - Did the AP article say where it came from? The media is the WORST place to get your scientific information. The CBC, CTV and A-Channel in Edmonton have all tried to screw around the words I have said. I now have a problem believeing anything anything any newa nedia say anymore. It would be much appreciated to find out where they received their figures. Usually,'they' are, a doctor (not close to the investigation) or a scientist that has been misquoted, to make the story sound as they, the media) want want it too. When did REPORTING THE NEWS change to MAKING THE NEWS? Sorry for the rant, I would like to see the scientific studies proven the SJW/drug interactions. I have been expecting these for years, although, I don't believe they will be of much clinical significance. Sincerely - Cam W.(sorry for the rant).
