This shows us that “natural” does NOT necessarily mean “safe”.
There are many “natural” things out there that are extremely dangerous: Foxglove (AKA Digitalis—affects the heart), Rhubarb (leaves contain deadly levels of oxalic acid), Arnica (used for pain relief, but deadly poisonous). And many of the elements in the Periodic Table are deadly: Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Thallium…
Even something as seemingly “natural” and “healthy” as Fish Oil can be dangerous, depending on your underlying medical conditions. And grapefruit (fruit or juice) can cause dangerous reactions when taken with certain medications. Heck, even too much Vitamin A, salt, or water can kill you!
So, before you go taking any supplements or “alternatives”, no matter how “natural”, you need to have a serious talk about them with your pharmacist and/or doctor.
@Buddha192, inability to urinate can lead to very serious complications. So, it should be discussed with your doctor, ASAP.
