Interesting findings allright but wouldnt a warning such as "consult your doctor before using with other medicines as reactionscan occur" suffice. I think some over the counter medications do carry such warnings.
It must be remembered to that just because St John's Wort is a herbal or "natural" remedy it doesnt make it safe. After all Opium (From which Heroin is derived) and Coca (Ditto Cocaine and "Crack") are "natural" too and these are (whether you agree with it or not) heavily controlled in most countries too.
