Herbal Treatment
A new Prevention magazine survey
shows how much herbal remedies have
moved into the mainstream.
Americans spend $3.24 billion a y6.r
on herbal medicines, and the average
annual outlay is $54. High-income,
urban baby boomers are the biggest
spender's, with residents of Western
states spending the most.
"These results fly in the face of a
popular misconception that herbal _
remedies are used by aging hippies or
found in Granny's kitchen cupboard,"
says Prevention's research director, Ed
Slaughter.
Most adults believe herbal remedies
are as safe or safer than non-herbal
medication, and more than half say
herbal treatments are more effective.
Herbal cold remedies are the most
popular, followed by natural medica-
tion for burns, headaches, allergies,
rashes and premenstrual syndrome.
Varro S. Tyler, Ph.D., Sc.D., dean
emeritus of the Purdue University
School of Pharmacy and Pharmacal
Sciences, believes plant-based treat-
ments can be very effective, but says
the herbal drug industry should be
regulated to protect consumers.
UFO Sightings
Programs like "X-Files" and
"Unsolved Mysteries" aside, people are
easily influenced by what they see
about UFOs on television.
"The credibility of the source is
important when it comes to how peo-
ple evaluate the information they
hear," says Glenn Sparks, professor of
communication at Purdue University.
When uncritical accounts of UFOs
are aired on television news programs
— a source most viewers consider
credible — belief in flying saucers
soars. Sparks believes one-sided news
stories about UFOs sway viewers
because up to half of all adults believe
in the existence -of UFOs.
"Another third are uncertain about
their existence and are therefore likely
to be impacted by information from
sources they perceive to be credible,"
he adds.
