The specific medicinal use check boxes are also of concern. Most of the chemicals in plants that people have discovered medicinal uses for are, after all, toxic. As doctors like to say, the only difference between a poison and a medicine is the dose. It's one thing to say a plant has a medicinal use, but quite another to say specifically what that use might be. I'm not sure that's the sort of information someone should be seeking from the ATP database. It's better learned at the foot of someone who really knows what they are doing.
