Herbals and pharmaceuticals

Prescription drugs have caused problems, drug interactions and deaths, as have herbals:

Since both sides have their pros and cons, could we get back to just each side putting their information out when answering questions? The original anonymous person http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health/WHF.0208/2668.html made several valuable points: 1) Progesterone creme, or pills, has NO medical/scientific proof that it will help endo, or maintain it to a livable degree. All of the studies done correctly, have no scientific based evidence that progeterone creme works to do all, nor some, of the things that people are claiming it does. 2) Please, in the future, let women know it is not a cure all and 3) ALL of the tests that have been done on the creme have problems with them. That's what I want to see promoted also, in addition to other cons behind what I've pulled up from research.
