Americans Spend $30 Billion a Year on Alternative Medicine

[astral]

2. Broad-brushing it a bit, aren't you?

Is using prune juice for constipation an alternative therapy? How about using natural (legal) substances, just because they happen to be good for you (or your doctor simplay says, there is no cause, there is no cure, the only solution is to treat the symptoms)?

Like using lemons, vinegar, cayenne pepper, fasting, colon cleansing with clay and psyllium husks and flax, using turmeric or cinnamon or clove or a million other 'alternatives' which simply avoid having to go to the No Cause No Cure doctor?

How about having some reasonable balanced discussion and learning experiences? I have had sickness the doctors said there is no cause or cure, and sickness the doctors said didn't exist, and finding natural solutions by Surfing the Net may be the reason I seem to have recovered.

Use of doctors and the medical profession has its place, to be sure, but they VERY SELDOM can (or will) tell a patient about nutrition / supplement options, such as the life-saving need to use COQ10 when taking cholesterol or blood pressure drugs.
