Are you MAD, man? Among the dangerous herbs and natural products listed is
"Beer and alcoholic beverages".
Not to mention it didn't mention the drug interaction problem I *had* heard
of with St. John's wort, that it can intefere with the performance of birth
control pills....
It is established that the combination of beer (and/or other alcoholic beverages) and the failure of birth control can lead to the growth of certain tissue masses in the cervical area ...
Yeah, but if you're *planning* on creating said certain tissue masses, it's recommended that you avoid alcohol for a month or two before making the attempt. :)
And it may very well be that beer is contraindicated with the use of St. John's wort. I'm not up on St. John's wort right now. (I could have answered that one, or found the answer fairly easily, 6 years ago....)
