I used to work with a group of biochemists, and I'm skeptical of the claims of biochemistry in any area, whether they're used to support conventional or natural medicine.

Meat from the grocery store these days does contain toxins, and it's usually high in fact, so there's enough reason to eliminate or minimize it in the diet.

I've used nettles with good success to alleviate allergic symptoms. Nettle has long been eaten as a vegetable - it's quite safe. I've had no more side effects from drinking nettle tea than from drinking spinach juice, i.e., zero side effects. It's worked as well for me as a decongestant on many occasions.

I think it's a good idea to analyze health claims, but don't throw away some good remedies because of one argument that wasn't up to par logically.
