Dear Thomas:

Was just listening to a satellite radio documentary on vitamins, steroids, herbal supplements, etc. & how they arte being pushed on children. Things like vitamin C, ginseng, & other herbal roots are okay. But its important II let kids know that if they have any questions about these types of meds/herbs & what they can do II a human body, the Ist thing they should do is consult a physician/pharmacist/medical provider who has background knowledge of drugs, herbs, & other medicines & their possible say side effects/allergic reactions.

This Would Be Along The Lines Of A Medical Field Trip IV Students Who Enjoy Math & The Sciences,

Rory
