Hey David,
Just found this website, and I think it’s awesome! I’ve subscribed to the RSS feed, and I can’t wait to to explore your site more. I especially like that you have articles about science research, AND about science writing, as I am an aspiring science writer myself. Great job!

@Karen You’ve hit the nail on the head! Advocates of these so-called herbal remedies that allegedly boost “energy” levels are, if they do anything, stimulants, just like caffeine and other natural products. The marketing hype cannot have it both ways, as I’ve said in the post.

Hi, Just wanted to let you know I had an awful experience with rhodiola rosea. I had the worst panic attacks that I ever had in my whole life. I also got a splitting headache. At first I didn’t understand what was causing this. I took this stuff to stop anxiety and now my attacks were worse than ever. Every little thing bothered me and I was freaking out. Finally, after a couple of days it dawned on me that it must be the rhodiola. That was the only new thing that was going into my body that week.
A person who commented compared this stuff to speed. I am a hyper person and speed is not a good thing for me to take. I cannot understand how rhodiola is compared to speed, caffeine, and is supposed to be an anxiety and stress reducer at the same time. This is very confusing. Please explain.

Very interesting. This site is good to go for research on interests or concerns such as the H1N1 or as most say it swine influenza. Good Job.

What do you think of the educational package now posed by President Obama. I have had many private comments on goofbucket that I cannot answer and am looking for a base to refer these comments. Many are based on science and technology. Let me know if you are interested as I am starving for time to get to a lot of ideas
