title: Finding health in folklore, herbs and supplements: the good, the bad & the ugly. Part I--The good.
abstract: These are the major "good" alternative medications and supplements. They represent but a fraction of the known (or suspected) benefits of alternative therapies. Next issue, Part II of this series will deal with the dark "bad" side of this issue--when herbs become outlaws and toxic tumbleweeds.
