That has been one of my objections to the 'natural' argument, too, bev.  I 
don't have a problem with 'natural' remedies, if they are effective.  Heck, 
aren't most prescription and OTC derivatives of something that was originally 
'natural.  My problem has been that there seems to be a big 'money game' 
involved.  It is not any cheaper top go to a homeopathic doctor than a 
medical doctor.  If the results are as good, then the homeopath deserves as 
much, but ............  that is what is hard to tell.  And, insurance 
generally will jnot cover homeopathy.

I have read books, and recently have read some of what Roxanne, Sage, and 
Lynn have written about their experiences with herns and other plant 
remedies.  Sometimes, I think my skepticism is unhealthy..........

p.s.  
I'm adding Lovaza now, it is prescription but it is a 'natural' remedy of 
sorts, I think
