SAM-e Information Page  
By Karen Bergeron

SAM-e, or S-Adenosylmethionine; is a recent introduction in the US but has been tested extensively in Europe and found to be helpful in cases of chronic pain, depression, arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. SAM-e has so far been found completely safe for humans and and beneficial to the liver and stomach as well. SAM-e is not an herb but is somehow extracted from yeast. (See links below) The one drawback is the price, which is about $1.00 for each two hundred milligram pill. A minimum dose is 400 mg per day.

Once I heard about SAM-e I hesitated to try it because of the high cost of this supplement. But as my sciatic pain raged on for months with no sign of improvement I knew I had to do something.  I was told by doctors that I had sciatica and arthritis in my hips and that this would deteriorate as I got older. I have been taking 400 mg a day of SAM-e since October and have found that SAM-e has helped improved my mood and reduced the need for prescription pain relievers. I am not paid to endorse any commercial SAM-e products and am simply sharing my experience with this supplement. SAM-e should not be used by those suffering from bipolar depression.

This online herbal is intended as an introduction to how medicinal herb plants are used as herbal remedies. It is intended for educational purposes only. I am not a medical professional and I cannot prescribe what herbs are right for you. I cannot answer medical questions, so please do not ask me (or any other complete stranger for that matter) to prescribe herbal remedies, cures, treatments or to guess what is wrong with you.

If you use herbs, do so responsibly. Consult your doctor about your health conditions and use of herbal remedies. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe! There are herbs that are poisonous such as Poison Hemlock, Jimson weed, and many more.

I will be happy to help you ID wild plants that you find, or help you locate herbs, plants or herb seeds and especially herb pictures.
