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
