Solving Your Physical Problems

Will garlic prevent obesity and diabetes? Will ginseng cure cancer? Will ginkgo biloba help those with Alzheimer’s disease, depression or impotence?

If you are a manufacturer or seller of potions using these herbs, the chances are that you will answer "yes". If you're the NIH or FDA, your answer will be a resounding 'no'. Yet, many of we elderly don't listen to the NIH or FDA. The sales of these panaceas continue to grow year after year. Another triumph of marketing over science.
