Welcome!!

Study has shown that our
brain function starts to
slow at age of 40. [1] And,
aging is a continuous
process that begins at
birth and continues
throughout all stages of
life including childhood,
puberty, young adulthood,
middle and late ages. We
can't avoid aging.

However, we should by all
means to achieve healthy
aging. As, people who age
healthy do not experience
many of the unwanted
features of aging, such as
extensive tooth loss.

A herbalist published a
book about a few herbs;
she claims that those
herbs in her book are
essential to our health..
Reviewing research data
about those herbs, I
noticed serious side
effects of three herbs
recommended in this book:
two are linked to cancers
while one is associated
with hepatitis!! However, I
found some supplements
such as fish oil, lecithin
and ginseng/ginkgo biloba
are beneficial to some
health conditions.

Consequently, I decided to
establish this website to
share what researchers
have found on the
potential health benefits
and side effects of various
herbs and supplements. I
also include information
on some popular drugs in
this website. You may find
this web-site useful.

Finally, please, note that I
am a researcher in the
drug industry. All the
articles in this website can
not used as medical
advise. You have to
discuss with your medical
doctor immediately, if you
have any questions!!
