> A medical study was just published showing that Saint John's Wort was ineffective for major depression. When you read the details however, the study was only done for 8 weeks. But doctors know that users of SJW report that it takes at least 8 weeks to start working! So the study was intentionally flawed to make SJW look bad. Imagine how much money docs would lose if patients took an over the counter medication like SJW instead of going to the doctor.

Actually 8 weeks is a standard time for testing most AD's.
