That's my biggest complaint about western medicine. It doesn't work very well...it's what makes "chronic" conditions "chronic". My mother takes a slew of pills, yet still has high blood pressure, high colesterol, etc. The medications are dangerous and have many bad side effects, but they just keep upping the dose (and give her Lasix to counteract the edema, and Sanctura to control the constant peeing from the Lasix).
The 'alternative' treatments are actually GOOD for you. They prompt your own body and immune system to work better. They make you stronger and healthier.
Garlic (raw, untreated) is one of the strongest antibacterial/antivirals known, but it doesn't harm normal stomach flora; it also stimulates your immune system and is anti-hypertensive, and can help regulate blood sugar. Amazing stuff, and you can grow all you need in your backyard. No pharmaceutical company has figured out how to prevent you from growing garlic, or how to put healthy eating or exercise or yoga in a pill, so they can't make money from it. As long as pharmaceutical companies run the FDA, alternatives will be dismissed as quackery, or even banned.
