Why is woo sold as "mainstream?"

81. Where do you think modern medicines come from, Archae? You think they

just thought that up and mixed up chemicals in a lab, without any research into prior medicines through the ages?

Drinking herbal teas - some modern medicines are derived from those herbs.

Some "homeopathy" is just common sense and do indeed work.

Some methods don't work. You know...just like chemical pills. Some work for some, not for others.

The milder treatment should always be tried first, IMO, moving to the hard stuff if the milder treatment didn't work. Note: milder, organic treatments don't work quickly like injecting chemicals into your body. But then, you don't suffer as many harmful side effects, either.

You choose your poison.

My opinion: The more you stay away from doctors and hospitals, the healthier you will be. Eat vegetables, exercise daily, keep your weight close to normal, laugh a lot, have some friends and pets, be optimistic, take a multivitamin and fish oil and basic things like that, stay away from medicines of all sorts unless absolutely necessary (incl. pain relievers), don't eat too much sugar, don't eat fast food, limit processed foods. and go to the doctors only for annual checkups and tests. Do NOT go to the dr every year for that sinus trouble you get every year....you know what it is. You get it every year, for gosh sakes. Put pure water up your nose every day, and quit going to the dr for it.

You will live a long, healthy life, probably. Unless you get cancer, which is beyond our control, for the most part.
