Herbal Supplements May Have Caused Frenship Coach's Liver Failure

ABC 28 has been reporting on how coach Jimmy Curtis got his transplant, but
there's been little information on why he needed this transplant in the
first place.

Coach Curtis' wife says he does not drink and he does not have hepititis,
which are the two common reasons people need a new liver. Instead, she says
doctors are now telling the family that herbal supplements may have
contributed to the coach's liver damaged.

For several years, Frenship assistant baseball coach Jimmy Curtis took the
herbal supplements ALJ and LBS II, both products from the Nature's Sunshine
Company. His family bought them on the internet. He, his wife, and even his
children took them to help manage their allergies.
