"23,000 ER visits occur each year because of people taking 'natural' supplements." Prevention Magazine, August 2016
This article goes on to say that 700 supplements have been identified as tainted since 2007. I am always amazed at the people who suspect doctors but will go to a health food store and fill their baskets - and subsequently their bodies - with one supplement after another. Not that all supplements are bad, but supplement makers in the US are far less regulated than prescription drug makers. As usual, it is common sense which needs to prevail.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
