Some herbal remedies could be dangerous

CHICAGO (AP) - Dangerous levels of lead, mercury and
arsenic have been found in some herbal remedies from
India that are sold in the United States, researchers
are warning.

Levels high enough to cause poisoning were detected in 14
of 70 ayurvedic medicine products made in south Asia and
bought in Boston-area stores, according to a study by Dr.
Robert Saper and colleagues at Harvard Medical School.
Saper is now at Boston University.

The study appears in Wednesday's Journal of the American
Medical Association.

Some ayurvedic products use heavy metals combined with
herbs, and are sold at some U.S. health food stores and
Indian grocery stores as remedies for ailments such as
arthritis and diabetes.

The researchers did not examine whether people who used
the products studied had become ill, but the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention said in July that from
2000 to 2003, it received reports of 12 adults in five
states who developed lead poisoning after using
ayurvedic products.

About 80 percent of the population in India uses ayurvedic
products, and a U.S. health survey in 2000 estimated that
750,000 American adults also had used them, the study said.

"The number of individuals at potential risk is
substantial," the study authors said.

The authors recommended mandatory U.S. testing of all
imported dietary supplements for toxic metals.

Current or previous users should see their doctors about
heavy metal screening, and doctors treating patients for
unexplained poisoning should consider ayurvedic products a
possible source, the researchers said. Lead poisoning can
cause abdominal pain, fatigue, headaches and irritability.

Dr. Scott Gerson, a New York physician trained in U.S. and
ayurvedic medicine, said properly processed ayurvedic
products are harmless and extremely effective. Gerson,
founder of the National Institute of Ayurvedic
Medicine, said the study "points to the need for
better quality control, which is currently under way
in India."
