OK... if you get tuberculosis, or cancer, or a serious staph infection, or diabetes, or heart disease, go for the herbs.

I'll see a medical doctor.

As for my ideas about homeopathy, can you tell me what's incorrect about what I said? It *IS* based on the notion of "like cures like", or the Law of Similars. What I didn't mention is that the poisons are diluted to the point of non-existence. However, the actual poisons used are those that mimic the symptoms one is attempting to relieve.

You also totally ignored my basic question: How does Eastern medicine solve the "cause" of a disease when it is unaware what the cause of the disease IS?

Again, people who sell that idea are selling something else, too. In your case, herbs and treatment.

The biggest mistake you're making is finding instances of people being hurt by prescription drugs, then extrapolating that to mean that ALL western medicine is harmful. That's a logical error.

If I find somebody who was hurt by herbs, will you accept that all of Eastern medicine is faulty? Probably not... you'd see the logical fallacy there.
