If you become interested in this field, one recommendation that is of the greatest importance is to
read, and to be very selective about your reading. There is a plethora of pseudo-scientific literature out
there under the topics of health and nutrition. This is one of the reasons the items listed below concentrate
on non-herbal medicine. It is simply because there are more “western” scientific studies dealing
with vitamins and amino acids, etc., that have “hard science” behind them. This is not to say that herbal
medicine is without merit. It is simply to say that it is currently harder to find secure scientific facts about
such topics. Let’s hope this changes in the future.
