Happy New Year Soroush!
I just wanted to drop you a very quick note as this excellent but brief article landed in my inbox just a moment ago and I wanted to get it out to you by return.
So, with this, our official first e-Newsletter of the year, we wanted to kick off with a little "Breaking News" - before it hits the newspapers. Or then again, maybe it won't - since our news services generally don't like to report on anything positive - especially not if it concerns anything to do with Complementary Medicine.
We will be bringing you our full e-Newsletter towards the latter half of January as usual - but I hope you enjoy this little interim piece - we certainly did!
Warmest wishes

We are constantly bombarded with the erroneous notion that certain aspects of complementary medicine are unscientific at best and dangerous - even lethal - at worst. Here is a short piece from our friends at Orthomolecular.org (a non-profit and non-commercial organisation) which demonstrates otherwise, when it comes to herbs, homeopathy, vitamin and mineral supplements. We left their listing of their Peer Review board members in - just to rebut the 'non-scientific' accusation.
No Deaths from Supplements. No Deaths from Minerals or Amino Acids. No Deaths from Homeopathics or Herbs
By Andrew W. Saul, Editor, THE ORTHOMOLECULAR NEWS SERVICE
(OMNS, Jan 5, 2017) Not only are there no deaths from vitamins, there are also zero deaths from any supplement. The most recent (2015) information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System, and published in the journal Clinical Toxicology (1), shows no deaths whatsoever from dietary supplements.
NO DEATHS FROM MINERALS
There were zero deaths from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, colloidal silver, selenium, iron, or multimineral supplements. Reported in the "Electrolyte and Mineral" category was a fatality from the medical use of "Sodium and sodium salts" and another fatality from non-supplemental iron, which was clearly and specifically excluded from the supplement category.
NO DEATHS FROM ANY OTHER NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT
Additionally, there were zero deaths from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John's wort, valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, or melatonin. There were zero deaths from any homeopathic remedy.
BUT WHEN IN DOUBT, BLAME A SUPPLEMENT. ANY SUPPLEMENT.
There actually was one fatality alleged from some "Unknown Dietary Supplement or Homeopathic Agent." This is hearsay at best, and scaremongering at worst. How can an accusation be based on the unknown? Claiming causation without even knowing what substance or ingredient to accuse is baseless.
THE TRUTH: NO MAN, WOMAN OR CHILD DIED FROM ANY NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT. PERIOD.
If nutritional supplements are allegedly so "dangerous," as the FDA, the news media, and even some physicians still claim, then where are the bodies?
