I think Natural Standard NS is one of the very few places where you can find very reliable information about the different combinations of herbs, synthetic medications and some of the complex recipes we encounter on a daily bases. NS provides you with some of the highest Evidence-Based Research information for anyone both in the healthcare or non-healthcare industry to take the best practical decision to maximize therapy. To me it is like a window to your health because its resources give you the power to be in control. Be your own judge. Thank Dr. Ulbricht for the quality information. I did enjoy the interview.

It is great that Dr Ulbricht is educating people on the importance of evidence based medicine, especially for herbal supplements. Most people hear herbal or natural and assume it will be safe and will fix their medical problems. However it is important to be educated on if these substances could be harmful and if there is any evidence to show that they work.

I really appreciate the information Dr. Ulbricht and Natural Standard has to offer, there's a great need for evidence-based information out there on natural and herbal supplements, and it's all there on one convenient site. Also, the free trial to Natural Standard is fantastic!

It is great to see complementary and alternative therapies highlighted in the media. The complimentary trial login is such an awesome perk. Natural Standard has so many useful databases that are user-friendly and so informative. It is difficult to find reliable information on commonly used herbal supplements, but Natural Standard uses an evidence-based approach to compile both folkloric and science-based information on herbs, supplements and alternative therapies.

So great to see integrative medicine in the spotlight here! I think the evidence-based grades really simplify information and make it easier to understand where each integrative therapy lies in relation to the other options for each medical condition. I love the comparative effectiveness charts on Natural Standard because they are so clear and concise when it comes to comparing treatment options.
