I was reading an article last week that said that Hypericum has SSRI
properties, but also does one or two other things that allow for a more
stable treatment, minimizing side effects. Most things in nature that
work typically aren't promoted by the medical establishment because they
can't patent them, and therefore make multi-millions off of them. FOr
example, ginger root is typically 2-3 times more effective as a
treatment for motion sickness than dramamine, but you never hear about
this from the drug companies, or from your conventional doctors. Ginger
is so ubiquitous that no one in the medical field can hope of making
apenny on recommending it for treatment of motion sickness.
