I shut down early last night. the herb I took was from Wal Mart brand name - Spring Valley-It was Grape Seed Extract. Everything I've read about it says it's good. But this came from China, which I didn't know. And on one site says- May contain residues from the chemical substances used in it's processing. I think it sure did contain Something??? Trudy PS- Let Me know you've read this. Elaine, sorry for not getting back to you sooner.

I have always taken them and had always bought them at Wal Mart. And I thought they were made in the USA. My husband had been home for only a week after His by-pass surgery. I took this herb I had just bought and right that minute starting getting sick. I was freezing, vommiting and going to the bathroom all at once. It got so bad, I laid down on the bathroom floor. On the cats blanket, and could hardly move. I have been sick plenty of times but I never go to the hospital. I tried to call for My husband. He finally came in and I said call the ambulance.We got to the hospital and My blood pressure was 60 over something? Anyway, they filled Me full of fluids and sent Me home. I felt better. I thought it was because of My husband and My nerves for the last 2 weeks. well, 2 weeks later I took the herb not thinking, and this time the same thing happened and I couldn't stand up. Couldn't talk but tried to. Shaking all over and freezing to death. By the time i got to the hospital My blood pressure was only 40 over something and they rushed Me into the trauma room and got the paddles ready. I knew what was happening, just couldn't move or talk. They said i was turning blue. Anyway, I spent 3 days in intensive care. they didn't believe it was the herb and wouldn't test the bottle. So when I got home after a million tests, I called the FDA. They did send a man out who looked at the pills , took pics of them and took pics of the rapper they were in. I never heard back from them. I guess it wasn't important. Now, I find out the ingrediants came from China. Now it all makes sense. We wouldn't want to blame China would we? I never thought about it again until this mess and then I checked where My vit. and herbs are really made. China!!! Herbs- I have to tell you something about an herb I took.
