As a medicinal chemist, I ignored my suspicion that inexpensive, natural products could replace most of today’s most popular medications for blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, depression and even cancer. Drug design paid well and kept me comfortably isolated in a high-tech lab to help me bend and twist matter at will. The last thing I wanted to think was that my creations could be easily rivaled by inexpensive, nutritional supplements. But over time, experience confirmed my suspicion as fact.
