It sounds ridiculous, but I'm going to say it anyway! Here in Organico we ALWAYS advise that if you have health issue consult a qualified medical practitioner. You wouldn't take your brand new car to the local dentist for a service,(I'm hoping you'd have the sense to go to a qualified mechanic). Too many people take stupid risks when it comes to their own health and well-being and self medicate or take advice from friends and unqualified practitioners. While I am a strong advocate of alternative remedies and complimentary medicines I would strongly advise anyone with an ailment to consult both a qualified medical doctor and also seek advice from a qualified herabalist, homeopath or natrapath.

Your local healthfood shop is a good source of information on local qualified practitioners but always look for qualifications and references. In Ireland all reputable healthfood shops are registered with the IAHS.
