Yes m'kay, but that attitude sucks ... n No its worse then alcohol n tobacco. its not that toxic like st johns wort . but i always thought if there is room for a party pill, ectasy isn't it .. its too crude, it makes it onto the black market cos its easy to make.

Going back to st johns wort, i would put a big label on the bottle especially trinctures (if you take it as pills, its probably a tiny amount)

Ectasy can kill young people, which is very sad, but st johns wort is at the other end of the scale its a granny killer! they are poisoning themselves with it ... sertlraline is much safer n more effective ... i did worry a bit that when i picked e4chris people might think e ... but it is e4! e4 only.

This thread is about questionable herbal remedies, you could probably find a few in the chinese medicine shops that pop up, a few good things too, I notice they stay open...

I studied the Haber Process when I was 16 - it was in the GCSE "O" level
syllabus; it's hardly cutting-edge science. Photo-sensitivity caused by St John's
Wort is well known. The general quality of your posts is poor; poor grammar,
poor spelling, bad logic.

There are plenty of really smart people on RHP that I can learn from ... you are
not one of them.

PS Every gardening book I have mentions St Johns Wort (Hypericum) and I have about 20. Doesnt make me an expert!

What have you got a science degree in? were did you take it and what is your grade?

I do not believe that you need a science degree to qualify to post in a science forum but just having some basic understanding of science and, in particular, scientific method, would help a lot.

Personally I have a broad variety of science qualifications (AI, computing, maths, horticulture and some physics) just short of an actual science degree. But, even if I did none of those courses and got none of those qualifications, I think I would still be well suited for this forum for I would still have good broad understanding of science.

True, not saying you need to be qualified at all, nor that i am , i have a very bad science degree 🙂 My Knowledge is mostly accumulated tv / net / book rubbish.

Wolfgang if you want to be indifferent to toxins, as i do with smoking, but try to avoid elsewhere, that is your choice, some people do n probably make it to 80. but it could bite u or me. I do learn and if one of my threads is dead i don't try to keep it going, but some seem to be doing ok.

St johns wort is on the borderline am not saying ban it, just it's note worthy. There are worse cases.

Hey! That's not a science degree!
That's much further away from a science degree than what I got. I was tempted to say that I had "half of a science degree" because I have got roughly half the necessary qualifications for a officially recognized science degree but then felt that saying I have 'half' of one lacks clear meaning.


I have a science degree, so I'm right.
