The\nexisting scientific technologies are not appropriate for testing them, unless\nyou assume one or more of these chemicals to fully represent the traditional\nproperties and actions of these herbs\/foods. &nbsp;In that case, we may as well consider caffeine\nto be coffee and ignore other also-important chemicals like chlorogenic acid\n(an antioxidant), among many others also present.&nbsp; Because we have been using the wrong\nassumptions on coffee and other herbs\/foods, and unknowingly applying the wrong\nsciences in evaluating them, much of the published \u2018scientific\u2019 data on herbs\nis wrong or irrelevant, and hence useless for evaluating the efficacy and\nsafety of the traditional medicines concerned.&nbsp;\nFor this main reason, I did not revise the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> edition of my\n\u201c<strong>Leung\u2019s Encyclopedia of Common Natural Ingredients used in Food, Drugs, and\nCosmetics<\/strong>\u201d published by Wiley in 2010.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Our body is extremely complex.\u00a0 Each cell contains myriad chemicals that function independently, and in concert, as well as in communication with other cells in different parts of our body to become an extremely complex, organized, and well-functioning multicellular organism with a mind and memory of its own.\u00a0 When a brand-new synthetic chemical drug enters our body, it has to try to get to whatever targeted receptor, chemical, or cell that we assume causes us the problem, hoping it would neutralize this target, and make us well again.\u00a0\u00a0 It has to get there with no divine guidance, just our hope for it not to bump into too many of these other billions of living chemicals and cells in its path to cause havoc, hence side effects. \u00a0It seems the \u2018science\u2019 of drug therapy is nothing but letting the drug go through the trial-and-error process as traditional natural medicine had gone through eons ago.\u00a0 And there doesn\u2019t seem to be any shortcuts in human testing either, but to wait to see what actually would happen, decades, centuries, or even millennia from now.\u00a0 That\u2019s why time-tested herbs and formulas, by inference, should be safer than synthetics, and are as effective in countering the cause of any illness, should any particular modern drugs happen to also do that, besides plugging symptoms.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>During my decades of involvement in \u2018scientific\u2019 research and manufacture of herbal products, I finally realized around 16 years ago that a modern drug can be prepared by the most advanced scientific technologies in the world, but once it enters our complex body, it\u2019s nothing but trial and error in a world of organized chaos.\u00a0 This is no different than what happened at the beginning of traditional herbal medicine when our ancestors started using herbs, thousands or countless years ago.\u00a0 <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With the above information, we are now ready to deal with the following two main issues:\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> Interrupt the vicious cycle of toxic drugs and introduce\/reintroduce the neglected natural therapeutics that have been with us since our human species began on this earth, as alternatives or replacements for modern toxic drugs. <\/li><li> How to start doing the above. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In my next post, the 10th,\nI\u2019ll address the modernization of herbal supplements and their reintroduction\ninto commerce along with new natural chemical drugs, also called dietary\nsupplements.&nbsp;&nbsp;
