Ashwagandha has been known to cause abortion. If you read the Sloan-Kettering site you will read about the so-called "great" improvement to arthritis sufferers in a study [of osteoarthritis, NOT RA]. Note the last sentence:

"42 patients with osteoarthritis participated in a study of a herbomineral formula that included ashwagandha. Patients were randomly assigned to receive the herbomineral formula (900 mg ashwagandha three times daily) or placebo for three months. After a month-long washout period, cross-over followed. Following treatment, patients demonstrated statistically significant reductions in severity of pain and disability score. Because of the presence of other substances in the formula, it is unclear to what extent ashwagandha played a role in the treatment results."

In short, it states that it is "An herb is primarily supported by traditional use, or the herb or supplement has little scientific support and/or minimal health benefit."

You're an awesome addition to this board Lee!

When I was diagnosed I knew NOTHING about my disease, treatment options, etc. The doctors didn't have a lot of time to explain everything in detailed form. I decided early on not to be passive or ignorant, since it's MY body and it's MY life that's affected. So I set out to learn what I could. I'm a huge believer in "Knowledge is Power."
