Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Hi, Nikita, I'm new here but have been reading the posts for a little while. (Hi, everyone!) I just wanted to caution you to see if you can make certain that your ayurvedic remedies were made in the U.S. The reason for this is it was discovered about a year ago, that many of the ayurvedic formulas made in India and Pakistan (they examined only ones sold in the Boston area) are rife with added mercury, lead, and arsenic, which are used as part of the formulation process. Here's a link about it: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/helthrpt/stories/s1288483.htm http://scienceweek.com/2005/sc050204-6.htm Of course, arsenic is a poison, and mercury and lead can cause thyroid toxicity and even GIVE someone Hashi's, so that is why to be careful of the origins of the formula. Ayurvedic is very good, as long as the source is good! I use ashwagandha and I really like it. It seems to help me stay on an even keel. Take care, Nikita, nice to meet you!
