Botanical Medicines — The Need for New Regulations
Abstract
In 2001, $17.8 billion was spent in the United States on dietary supplements, $4.2 billion of it for herbs and other botanical remedies.1 The popularity of these products has increased over the past decade, probably stimulated by sharp increases in prices of prescription drugs, restricted access to physicians imposed by managed care, media reports of adverse effects of prescription drugs, and, most important, the enactment in 1994 of the Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act (DSHEA). By broadly defining herbs and other botanicals as “dietary supplements,” the DSHEA substantially altered the definitions, standards, and mechanisms under which claims about the . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
