I have not committed enough information to memory yet on the subject of herbs and natural/alternative health care to write an intelligent article of my own with confidence. I do use herbs, however, and I am leaning increasingly more toward drugless therapies and wholistic healthcare. Therefore I am an advocate of alternative, versus mainstream, medicine. I encourage everyone to be responsible for their health, instead of behaving like cattle, being led around by the nose by the AMA, ADA, and other such institutions. Naturopathy, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, and other natural methodologies are worth looking into, especially when the vital health benefits can be obtained apart from [IMO/IYO] erroneous religious philosophies that often surround them.
Do not interpret me as giving a blanket blessing to all natural therapies, nor totally forsaking drugs and "regular" doctors. My preference is for the former, but I do partake from the latter when clearly indicated. My suggestion is for you to adopt a similar policy in your own life.
The following links may or may not have been thoroughly viewed by me, so I do not necessarily agree with everything listed, and you probably won't either.
*****NOTE: Remember when taking natural products to use only as directed. More is not always better! It is goofballs who take way too much of whatever in the hopes of increasing benefits that makes the FDA and other beaurocratic types want to take awesome products off the shelf and tell us what we can and cannot use in our healthcare.
