[edit] Why does this article contain medical advice?

Should the statement, "Individuals should not attempt to self-medicate themselves for depression using harmine," be in this article? It seems to be unnecessary, and possibly biased medical advice. In fact both passionflower and tribulus are frequenty used as herbal supplements to relieve symptoms of depression, and both contain harmal type alkaloids. Mike19772007 19:48, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

  • I have edited this statement to read "Harmine, and plants containing significant amounts of harmine and other harmala alkaloids are generally not considered safe treatments for depression within the medical community" and provided reference. Mike19772007 19:11, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
