The practice of using herbal supplements dates back thousands of years. Today, there is a renewal in the use of herbal supplements among American consumers. However, herbal supplements are not for everyone. In fact, some herbal products may cause problems for people treatments for chronic ailments. Because they are not subject to scrutiny by the FDA or other governing agencies, the use of herbal supplements is controversial.

Herbal supplements are products made from plants for use in the treatment and management of certain diseases and medical conditions. Many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines are also made from plant derivatives. These products contain only purified ingredients and, unlike herbal supplements, are closely regulated by the FDA. Herbal supplements may contain entire plants or plant parts. Herbal supplements come in all forms: dried, chopped, powdered, capsule, or liquid, and can be used in various ways. Please address the followings:

1.     Discuss advantages and disadvantages of dietary supplements, including adverse reactions, drug-drug interactions, drug-food interactions, and specific laboratory issues that may arise from using these products.

2.     Discuss the position of the FDA and other governmental agencies on over the counter herbal supplements. Support your post with at least 2 evidenced-based guidelines published within the last 5 years.

 APA 6th edition format. 

These are the instructions:

Sources of information may include journals, textbooks, Internet information (must be scholarly or government sites; no wikipedia), research documents, personal interviews (experts), or other appropriate reference material.

Nearly all subjects, even clinical topics will often involve some type of controversy.  You are to present all sides (pro and con) and weigh in with your opinion.  Your opinion, however, must be supported by facts.

You will need to prepare a research paper that includes a minimum of 6-pages, 10-12-pt font, 1-inch margins, that is typed and double-spaced.  Please limit your papers to no more than 10-pages.  Included in your paper is to be a cover page and a bibliography of your sources (pages not included in minimum).  APA is the preferred method for citations (APA, 6th edition). Your paper should be organized by the following large sections: Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Discussion, and Conclusion. In addition to content, format, logical organization of ideas, grammar and spelling counts.

 Adhering to ethical principles and protection of human subjects are  important considerations in all forms of research. How stringent or similar  should these ethical principles be to the standards placed on the conduction of clinical and/or educational research? Offer examples where controversy exists regarding application of ethical principles in evidence-based practice projects, best practices in education versus clinical research? Be sure to address HIPAA and FERPA depending on your focus – clinical practice vs academic education.
