QUESTION :

I know anything from a plant is safe to eat, but anything from a lab can be dangerous. How can I tell if something came from a plant or a lab?

ANSWER:

Not everything from a plant is safe to eat. Some of the most dangerous substances come from plants, not from laboratories. For example: Many berries are poisonous, Even kidney beans are toxic when eaten undercooked, Eighty four varieties of mushroom are toxic etc.

So in general, it is a good idea to not consume any wildflower, herb, berry, seed, mushroom, or herbal tea until you have done some research and are certain it is safe.

Whereas, Prescription medicine has strict safety measures in place at every stage of its existence: from the research and testing stage, to the drug approval stage, to the point where a licensed doctor prescribes it, and finally at the point where a certified pharmacist distributes it. Herbal pills have none of these safety measures in place.

Properly taking a prescription stomach acid reducer will never kill you.
The bottom line is that plants and herbal supplements can be more dangerous than medicine from a lab because herbs have just as powerful drug effects but don't have the safety regulations in place.
