I don't think the "Kill" mentality can be done away aith, even in alternative medicine. To get well the immune system kills invaders that are foreign. So, we search for things that will kill viruses, bacteria, fungi,parasites,etc. Not necessarily to the point of sterilization, but enough to achieve a healthy balance. Then we hope h]that we can understand how the imbalance occurred and keep it fron happening again. It is mostly about doing enough to help the bod out of a hole and then letting our own innate intelligence do the rest of the job. We just have to give it the materials it needs to work with. We are assaulted by so many chemicals now days. We need extra powerful aids at times to kill pathogens that have gotten too large in # for our bodies to be able to naturally restore balance. Miracle-Mineral-Supplement not only kills, but is also said to strengthen the immune system.
