Why does berberine kill bacteria without causing the development of resistant strains? How does Red Yeast Rice interfere with cellular pathways to inhibit Co Q 10? Does silymarin up-regulate the P 450 Liver Enzymes to enhance Detoxification? Understand mechanisms of action of how herbs heal, along with possible adverse effects and herb drug interactions.
