Noreen, my discussion with my [censored] neurologist was about Feverfew, another herb studies have been done on. He obviously volunteered for a lot of experiments involving electrodes stuck to his face and stuff in syringes to put himself through medical college. Your GP, on the other hand, has a brain.

Actually, the rodent study (I know it's serious, but I keep wondering how they tell if the rats and mice are sad or happy, and there was something in there about "tail elevation," and...never mind.) What was I saying? Oh yeah - the rodent study talked about how the little guys were still depressed after the first trial. They upped the dosage, and the patients perked up. Or at least their tails did. Of course if the dosage is too high, you wind up with very severe sun sensitivity.
