...clinical trial that got a lot of publicity last year, the herb St.-John's-wort failed to work better than a placebo in treating severe depression. The study also showed that Zoloft, one of the most popular prescription antidepressants, did no better than a placebo either, but that result attracted little attention. In the real world, people do not take St.-John's-wort for severe depression--they use it for mild to moderate conditions. Zoloft, on the other hand, is considered a powerful weapon in the ongoing war on mental illness...
...DIED.

A Cobb salad ($11.50) was tremendous in more ways that one, a fresh and vibrant mountain of different colors, tastes and textures. Herb-crusted salmon, however, was disgustingly oversized, eerily suggesting that the fish had been raised in the warm nuclear waters off Three Mile Island. In addition, the salmon was extremely overcooked and the delicate flavor of the fish was overwhelmed by the dense forest of parsley, thyme and tarragon that covered...
With the Vapir, you can vaporize just about anything, you name it: tobacco, mint, coriander, dang qui, adder’s tongue, purging buckthorn, nodding wakerobin, or any other herb you might have lying around the house. Even that herb your roommate keeps in abundance in sandwich baggies at the back of his sock drawer—ostensibly for its “perfuming properties”—would work just fine. It’s doubtful the Canadian navy would let you vaporize anything on board the HMCS Saskatoon...
