[NPInfo] herbal advice

[Dena]

A lot of very strict vegetarians won't take any medications with any fillers
or additives that have come from an animal source. Those who are strict
"naturalists" (?) won't take anything synthetic. I agree-- marijuana and
opium are the best choices for a more naturalistic vegetarian approach <G>.
When in doubt, these types of very strictly regimented patients with firm
beliefs in what they will put into their bodies, are probably best served by
ND (naturopathic doctors) or other practitioners who specialize in "pure"
medicines.
