In reply to Chinese med question-Is Gynostemma a miracle herb?, posted by Jakeman on July 7, 2006, at 20:43:38
Hmm. Previous claims of "miracle cures" and "miracle herbs" have tended to be overblown, false, or plain out dangerous. Some are great of course- I just mean, I'd be a teeny skeptical or cautious of anyone pushing a "miracle" panacea.The "cocaine miracle", the "ephedra miracle"-are two that come to mind...
