Traditional medicines may be second most common source of lead poisoning in U.S.

One more blow for complementary medicines beloved by liberals. Many low income people go to 'Nature foods', 'Herbal' and 'Vitamin' stores in belief that these relatively cheap 'traditional' pills, powders and salves will help them. Here is another piece of evidence that they can cripple and kill, particularly children but often adults. It is really time for federal oversight of 'Herbal' and 'traditional' remedies sold across the counter without any controls.
