Mission Statement
GreenMedInfo.com exists in order to provide free and convenient access to the biomedical research available today on the therapeutic value of natural substances in disease prevention and treatment.* This website provides physicians, health care practitioners, clinicians, researchers and laypersons with an evidence-based resource through which the potential or actual therapeutic value of vitamins, minerals, herbs and foods can be determined. We also provide an alternative toxicology database which enables users to access information on the harmful properties of drugs, chemicals, vaccines, etc., which is not readily available elsewhere.

*by providing information, we are not diagnosing, treating, preventing or curing any disease.
Our Methodological Focus
This website indexes primarily those studies which indicate the potential or actual positive therapeutic value of natural substances and actions, while often omitting studies which do not provide support for these properties or may indicate adverse effects. Although presently in development, this site does not yet provide a drug-herb/nutrient interaction and therefore will not be helpful in determining possible contraindications. To acquire such information we recommend sites such as MedicineWorks.com and/or consultation with a licensed health professional.
Our database also contains a problem substances and problematic actions index which contain only the research demonstrating actual or potential harm due to unnatural substances and/or interventions. The intention behind this highly unilateral selection criteria is to provide a counter-perspective to the mainstream and/or conventional medical view that novel, patentable chemicals and highly invasive procedures such as infant vaccination carry an acceptable level of risk/harm a priori.
In the spirit of the precautionary principle (and with a mind for protecting the most susceptible to harm, our children) if there is any indication in the biomedical literature that a chemical or invasive procedure is doing harm, instead of determining "an acceptable level of harm," we tag that substance or procedure a priori as a cause for concern and worthy of being "watch listed" on our problem substances and problematic actions database.
Our database is designed to advocate for the consumer/patient and not the industry that is generating the exposure or procedure, as is presently the law of the land in the United States and many countries abroad.
CAUTION: Although a natural substance may be demonstrated to have a positive therapeutic property, this does not mean that it does not also have a potential for toxicity. Conversely, if a chemical or drug has been shown to exhibit toxicity, this does not mean that when administered properly it does not also have potential medicinal value. This site does not claim to represent the totality of studies available on a given substance or condition, and in choosing only those studies which demonstrate positive or negative results, conveys a significant bias which should be taken into account by the website user. It is therefore of extreme important that the user do further research and consult a professional health care practitioner before applying any information found on this site.
