Chamomile extracts exhibit benzodiazepine-like hypnotic activity (69).

<- this is the only thing that has worried me so far. Similar to benzos? Wtf?

But now I'm drinking the tea.

This is dead wrong. Cancer and diabetes have been "around" for thousands of years. Please don't provide false information.

I've NEVER heard of a dog that couldn't sleep (insomnia), for example.......... we are our own worst enemies.

Grubby, the internet does not have enough internet to list all the bad things nature can do to us and give to us. Nature is the source of all life, of course, and it comes complete with a full set of checks and balances to ensure that it prevails. From our point of view, many of its natural processes can result in very bad stuff.

It is your use of words like 'everything' and 'nothing' and 'never' that show you haven't really thought these thoughts through.

You also need more info about dogs that can't sleep. Dogs that Can't Sleep.

I agree that we are our own worst enemies. No argument there.

I think this thread has run its course and run off course as well.

The OP had a question about chamomile, that's all.
