Potential Side Effects of some herbs

[Elaine]

I take several herbs and I am all for them. However, the other night I may have experienced a somewhat dangerous side effect from one. The medical community, for the most part, does not know much of anything ab out herbs (and apparently don't know how to look them up on the Internet), so I am posting a link to a site that has many herb side effects on it. It doesn't have them all, and doesn't have the one I think may have caused my legs to swell to elephantastic proportions (Echinacea) but it has many of the ones cancer patients often use:

Elaine,

Thanks for the information. I'm taking tons of supplements too. I just added several more but have been having some concerns about how they're all interacting together.
