Clara Burrell, 87, purchases herbs at Goldenseal in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh several times a week for natural health remedies that keep her youthful and active. Burrell believes that alternative medicine and her independent lifestyle keep her healthy. In fact, she rarely lets anyone help her complete even the small tasks in her daily life. ÒIÕll be coming up the hill from the bus stop, and people will say, ÔLet me help, let me help,Ó and IÕll scream, ÔGet outta here! This is my exercise,ÕÓ said Burrell.
