All Internet searchers will have came accross WebMD and probably read some articles and benefitted from it.
For description of diseases and common conditions this site maybe a good source of knowledge.
For a description of herbs and general alternative medicine DO realize that WebMD is sponsered ny the medical industry and that they mostly can’t be trusted in these fields.
Simple good well established herbs may be “connected with all kinds of false warnings because the medical industry may fear that a certain herb may reduce the sale of patented medicines.
All honesty disappear here.
An example of chamomile warnings on WebMD and you will understand.
What are the risks of taking chamomile?
- Side effects. Most experts say chamomile is safe. It can cause drowsiness and, in large doses, vomiting. It also has the potential to trigger allergic reactions in people who are allergic to related plants in the daisy family, although such reactions are very rare. Avoid it if you are allergic to these plants: chamomile, ragweed, daisies, marigolds, or chrysanthemums. Skin creams with chamomile can cause allergic eczema and irritate the eyes. The effects of long-term chamomile use aren’t known.
- Risks. Check with your doctor before using chamomile if you have any health problems. Chamomile contains a small amount of coumarin, which may have very mild blood thinning effects, but usually just in high doses for long periods of time. Stop using chamomile two weeks before surgery due to concerns about its possible interactions with anesthetic drugs.
- Interactions. If you take any drugs regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using chamomile supplements. They could interact with sedatives, blood thinners, antiplatelet drugs, aspirin, NSAID painkillers like ibuprofen and naproxen, and other drugs. Chamomile could also interact with supplements like ginkgo biloba, garlic, saw palmetto, St. John’s wort, and valerian.
Given the lack of evidence about its long-term safety, chamomile is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Talk to a pediatrician before giving chamomile to infants and children.

Shalom, If you search the web for information on any health or natural subject, you can find it in some researches, more or less serious, commercial sites who also promote products or services, and some forums etc, where people contribute some of their knowledge and experience on these subjects to the others without any profit.
In the last time, maybe some years already, but gained momentum since the covid outbreak, there is another source of materials: The fact checkers statements.
It seems innocent, like coming to warn you from trying some natural remedies or herbs, and even some simple medicines for serious diseases, because of unknown dangers or unproven side effects. It also deceives information about adverse effects of a specific vaccine or some other facts, which can be true actually, but are not promoted via mass media. Their proofs usually are hardly substantiated statements, like just basically to say it can’t work (Why? How do you know?), it may be dangerous (How? What do you know about that?) etc.
I suppose that the article below is same kind of information. I am sure you can find out much better the correctness of the statements given by the article.
I just wonder what is the interest? Is there anyone who is somehow satisfied from such actions of giving to people doubting unbiased information? Or, maybe this work is paid? So, who is so interested and rich to sponsor all the activities of a lot of fact checkers in many countries?
All these thoughts bring me to be very suspicious about that kind of publications.
Good Shabbos!
