> However, herbal supplements have to be regulated carefully by an holistic doctor
Not necessarily just an "holistic" doctor anymore! Many "traditional" GPs, and MDs into "alternative", "integrative" and "anti-aging" medicine are now knowledgeable about herbal and nutritional supplements.
In addition, with a good science background, and enough research, a person can learn enough to do a better job than some of these doctors that I refer to as doing "drive-through doctoring". HMOs love them - they spend about 5 minutes per patient. I had one like that once. I once tried for a MONTH to get him to call in a prescription.
As for sources - there are reputable sources... I know GNC is a good source of at least some supplements, and I also trust the Life Extension Foundation (LEF).
