[What is Ginseng]

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded.

Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatique and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng is one of the most effective antiaging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.

Other important benefits of ginseng is its support in cancer treatment and its effects on sports performance.

Et stigende salg af naturmedicin som perikon er rigtigt positiv udvikling og viser sandsynligvis tendenser, så som at folk:
• er blevet mere ansvarlige for deres eget helbred
• er mere bevidste om hvad de putter i munden
• er mere påpasselige over for læger og medicinalbranchen
• vælger så naturlige og ufoarbejdede varer som muligt
• vælger præparater med så få bivirkninger som muligt

Depressionsforsker Poul Videbech (0:43): “Hvis man har let depression skal man slet ikke have medicin, og det er jo medicin det vi snakker om.”
Modsvar:
• “Considering the favourable safety profile of all extracts studied … which also correlated with a lower frequency of dropouts in clinical studies than seen with standard antidepressants, Hypericum extract is a valid therapeutic approach in patients with mild to moderate depression.” https://livar.net/UploadedFiles/Article/EfficacyandolerabilityofHypericumExtractfortheTreatment.pdf
• “Primary care physicians in [German-speaking] countries use Hypericum extracts mainly in patients with mild to moderate depressive complaints…” https://dcscience.net/st-johns-wort-linde.pdf

Poul Videbech (0:48): “…og har man en moderat til en svær depression, så har man altså brug for støtte fra en udenforstående person, altså ens praktiserende læge.”
Modsvar:
• Læger mangler tid til svage patienter https://forsiden.3f.dk/article/20110329/NYHEDER/110319932/2086
• “Brugen af psykofarmaka kunne mindskes, hvis praktiserende læger fik bedre tid til patienter med psykiske problemer, mener formanden for landets psykiatere.” https://information.dk/484953
• Travlhed: Jørgen har over 5.000 patienter “Når Jørgen Saaby stopper, vil det kræve 3-4 læger at erstatte ham.” https://pol.dk/ECE1844819
• Nyuddannede læger: Vi har for travlt https://jv.dk/artikel/1582558
• “Kun en fjerdedel af arbejdstiden for hospitalslæger bliver brugt med patienterne.” https://dr.dk/Nyheder/Indland/2012/03/20/180658.htm
• “…Danilo Terrida. Han følte sig deprimeret og fik udskrevet lykkepiller af mærket Sertralin af sin egen læge. Det skete via telefonen og tog 8 minutter.” https://dr.dk/arkivP1/P1Dokumentar/Udsendelser/Andet/20120412175458.htm

Poul Videbech om hvis man begynder at behandle sig selv mod svær depression (1:05): “… så kan man jo se det, at der lige pludselig dukker selvmordstanker op, ikke også. Måske selvmordsforsøg.”
Modsvar:
• “When adult antidepressant trials were re-analyzed to compensate for erroneous methodologies, SSRIs have consistently revealed a risk of suicide (completed or attempted) that is two to four times higher than placebo.” https://chriskresser.com/the-dark-side-of-antidepressants
• “Unlike some of the responses to a previous meta-analysis of antidepressant drug effects (I. Kirsch and G. Sapirstein, 1998), there is now unanimous agreement among commentators that the mean difference between response to antidepressant drugs and response to inert placebo is very small. It is so small that, despite sample sizes involving hundreds of participants, 57% of the trials funded by the pharmaceutical industry failed to show a significant difference between drug and placebo.”

I indslaget siger Jonna Andersen – salgsassistent fra Ren Kost og Krop – bl.a.: (0:33) “Vi har klart oplevet en stigning. Specielt fra omkring juletid.” Dette er positivt, både fordi folk er opmærksomme på at de måske kan være på vej til at få vinterdepression men også fordi perikon netop gør en mere lysføslom. Dette egenskab gør perikon oplagt at tage netop om vinteren, fordi den øger hudens modtagelse af sollys, netop i en tid hvor vi har mindst sollys. Dermed kan kroppen sandsynligvis også danne mere D-vitamin, samt at mere opfattet lys – pga. overfølsomheden – i sig selv også har en positiv indvirkning på humøret.
• “Øget lysfølsomhed bliver ofte nævnt i sammenhæng med Perikum. Faktisk reagerer huden stærkere på sollys efter indtagelse af urten.” https://drhauschka-med.dk/kvalitet/plantelex/perikum
