Are Herbal Remedies and Alternative Medicines Beneficial or Ineffective For You?

Hello,

I'm hoping the passionate members of this forum can help me. Within the next 2 - 3 weeks, I'm gathering people's feedback on their experiences using herbal and alternative remedies. Do you feel they're effective or ineffective? Do you agree with the FDA's attempts to ban the sale of alternative medicines and herbal remedies? Although this is for a Science and technology course at University, the feedback you provide could be vital information for the FDA, should enough feedback be acquired to make it worthwhile. There's not a lot of research out there surprisingly enough, that provides evidence one way or the other, even though people pour their thoughts out on forums.

If you're more comfortable with simply stating your experience with holistic remedies, as a response to this post, that's fine, but preferably you take 2 minutes to respond to one of the following anonymous surveys (nice and short) that pertains to your personal experience:
