Supplements/Herbals

Posted by I don't understand on March 18, 2001 at 16:16:24:

Could someone explain to me the point of supplements and herbals? There are frequent posts on this board about how people refuse to take medication but will take supplements or people want to switch to supplements, and it seems that many think supplements are better somehow. I do not understand this, and I want to. Supplements are still drugs and can still have serious side effects and be addictive. Plus they aren't tested for safety. I can think of lots of things that are natural that I still don't want in my body. So what is the point? I do not mean to start an argument, I do not have a real opinion on this, I just want to understand.
