I actually think it should be:
"Prescription meds often have been studied very little and may not be only ineffective, but potentially dangerous"
Did Anna Nicole Smith recently die from a cocktail of alternative medicines? No, she did not. She died from a cocktail of prescription medicines. And she didn't even OD, as far as I'm aware.
Sean Penn's brother also died because he was taking heart medication, and then decided to buy some OTC cough medicines.... it was a dangerous mix of both OTC drugs, and prescrption meds. But do people think about this? No they don't, they assume conventional meds are safe. When they are not.
Kind regards
Meri
