yvonne,
Everything is chemicals. chinese herbs also chemicals just that it is natural chemicals while western meds, most are man-made chemicals (also got some natural ones). Doesn't mean natural = better okay. In fact, natural chemicals much more complex and may have unpredicable effect. Chemicals have side effects of course. Even eating too much food got side effects, much less meds? The thing is, reduce when not necessary but if necessary, you don't have to worry about it.
