The fact is, what we should be talking about is how prescription drugs interfere with normal healthy physiology, not how herbs (which are helping the body) interfere with drugs (which are poisoning the body).

• They suspect that substances within ginseng may enhance the function of enzymes that break down warfarin, clearing it from the blood stream more rapidly.
