Yeah I hate it when people just praise drugs and have a go at natural remedies, when usually drugs have actually been isolated from natural treatments anyway and the person saying it knows usually next to nothing about herbs!

Doctors just don't seem to care about me, they pass everything off as IBS, which is just a nonsense term as far as I can tell. Mainstream medicine often seems far closer to "pseudoscience" than alternative medicine (hence why I'm on Curezone! :) )

And wow I just read your post - VERY WELL SAID! I think understanding ones own body feels to me like the very height of medicine as long as you are careful! It's very empowering to feel in charge of your own health! ^_^

EDIT -- And lol that's really funny what you said about docs having no idea what's wrong - I find precisely the same thing! And then they claim just because they don't know what's wrong then you must be fine, even though you feel awful and something is obviously not right. I can't work out if it's ignorance, the effects of the drug industry, or just medical science having some way to go, but something is definitely amiss here!
