Thank you for the thoughtful postings, all of you

Treating the original example, the patient would experience runaway diarrhea, dehydration and abdominal cramping. The treatment (knowing what it was) would be supportive care and transport to the hospital. Any conditions it caused would be treated accordingly, of course.

Not knowing what it was could have doctors digging into their exotic case files and coming up with extremely rare viral infections and running a bunch of expensive tests, possibly putting the patient under (expensive) isolation orders while trying to find some cause.

Imagine waking up to discover that your appendix had been removed "Just to be on the safe side."

If the medics are aware of the products and possible side-effects, they can ask better questions (supplements are not always mentioned when people ask about Last Meal, etc.) That is the purpose of this presentation.

The medics are taught about the same things for household chemicals, industrial chemicals, etc., but the 'food' type stuff is a subclass with which many people are not familiar.

The EPHEDRA example mentioned earlier is exactly what I'm talking about. Thank you, IronKitten.

Keep them coming!
