Ain't that the truth! Those who have accepted science as their new religion fail to realize that science is still in its infancy. Scientists often display the infantile behaviour of proclaiming as quackery, that which they are incapable of measuring or understanding, rather than simply accepting that science does not have all the answers. Scientists are just now getting around to discovering nutritional breakthroughs that the marginalized hippies understood intuitively and PRACTICED back in the 60s & 70s.

I could NEVER go back to pharma drugs. I started working with alternatives 25 yrs ago and continue to FIND new discoveries.

My BEST supplement is Grape Seed Extract (OPC) which I'm taking going on 21 yrs.

Very true IF they cured, they would be out of business...that is not the plan. Pharma drugs are bandaids but do NOT get to the root of what has gone wrong. I've seen so much damage in my life in my own family, I can just scream....

I've found the more gentle treatments of alternative medicine to be more health-promoting than pharmaceutical drugs.

Diet and life-style play major roles in our wellness.

Vegetarians or flexitarians who practice yoga or another form of meditation, who exercise often, and who have strong community connections are probably the healthiest people around.

And the longest-lived.

Adventists are among the longest-lived Americans. Here's why: New Wrinkles on Aging - National Geographic Magazine

In my 77th yr I can say "alternative" needs to be first line of attack...not the toxic drugs...those toxic drugs cause more issues than they do good. I've read numbers like 100,000+ deaths in our country from drug interactions....

Today's Modern Medicine world is "something else"...the old time doctors probably cared about us...today's MD's care about the bottom line, they are in their corporations etc....that's a lot of their learnin in medical schools Today.

Keep working on yourself to keep as healthy as you can...drugs are bandaids for the most part.

My sister deals with very advanced MS and she listended to the NYC MS docs and took so many costly drugs and was told these would slow down the progression...Hog Wash...she is in very bad shape....she didn't listen to a nutritionist she had a session with yrs ago..I tried to guide her but she did it "her way"....
