Default Poison Warning

I was seeing an unnamed acupuncture center inthe villages--they had prescribed chinese herbal pills--story short-I had classic symptoms of a stroke--I was in the hospital for 4 days--it was determined that I has aconite poisoning---in todays paper an article mentioned 1 fatality and other close call from aconite

Be very careful when taking oriental herbal remedies

Avoid Herbal Remedies...

aconite is among the oldest known poisons, and has been called the “queen mother of poisons”

Avoid oriental healers.

Hopefully you will give the place a call and let them know what happened! It's like anything else they could've received a bad batch and not know it so you may save a life!

Avoid alternative medicine. Stick with traditional medicine.

I agree 100% about taking any unknown herbal pills from any doctor, but acupuncture does work and is very effective for many problems such as migraine headaches, arthritis . . . the list goes on.

However, it is not a cure; it is a treatment and can do wonders if done correctly.
My mother had rheumatoid arthritis and the treatments did give her some relief.
Also, years ago, my vet was accredited to do it on animals and he did some treatments on my dog.

A Chinese Medicine practioner prescribed Rhino Horn to improve my love life.
Made no difference to that, but my nose grew 6 inches and now points upwards!

You just need to chase them with fois gras. Then they're harmless.
You get what you pay for.

I would be more worried about my liver than duck liver!

What would a person drink to wash down 300 pills ( of poison ) a day? A good red or a good white?
