When Will We See the End to "Natural" Lunacy?

Debate Information

And still the reports and evidence continue to pour in over the toxicity of "natural therapies". This time, there are wide-spread incidences in Australia of hapless victims falling ill from drinking poppy tea. Yes, that's right, poppy seeds. If it grows in the ground there are those who will swear by its healing and medicinal "properties" (whatever the heck that means).

Understandably, the article quotes a rock musician who almost o'deed on his morning brew (it contains opium you know) claiming it  was the result of two batches of poppy seeds - one used for medical purposes and the other for general consumption - being mixed together. Well, blow me down, it seems to be a case of "which of the two is the deadlier sin?"

When will these air-headed know-it-alls wake up to the fact that consuming medieval potions made from toxic quantities of anything from garlic (yes Maxx.....garlic) through to lavender, honey and St John's wort is detrimental, debilitating and in some cases, fatal?
