Why are natural products considered safe over conventional chemotherapy

[pinball1970]

I guess that herbal medicines cause fewer side-effects than allopathic medicines and hence are considered safer. However, both herbal medicines and chemotherapeutic drugs have a similar chemical composition for the medicine to work, but still, herbal meds show fewer side effects, why?

Do they? Citations please.

@KALIGA - this looks like personal theory. Please provide citations - that means show us where you got the idea. It should be from places like NIH alternative medicine section, which deals with herbal medicines. Not some internet site that peddles herbals.

PF does not allow personal theory.
