Radio 4 and reductionist views

[Guest guest]

Who heard Prof Theo Raynor yesterday morning on Radio 4 talking about the

dangers of herbal medicine, especially Gingko biloba and advising that the best

person to get information on herbal supplements was a Pharmacist, unsurprising

if you read his university staff profile

I would like to see someone from one of our professional bodies challenge this

and question their editorial policy. Clearly the best person to advise on herbal

medicine is a Medical Herbalist, we need a right of reply and to represent our

profession.
