Please review average life expectancy and infant mortality rates in cultures that rely on traditional medicines and those that have access to modern medical care. Share your findings with us. I would be dead right now if it weren't for modern medicine. I would guess offhand that the same is true of half the people on this board. Have you ever spent time in a culture that had to rely on traditional cures? You should. Watch their children die of curable diseases. See people crippled for life by repairable injuries. See lots and lots of things like that. Some people don't know how lucky they are to have access to applied science.

I don't take natural remedies amd haveonly had one long term prescription in my life--Lipitor, and I'm not so crazy about its potential longterm effects on my liver regardless of what Pfizer says. I take Lipitor. And, no, I'm not delighted to take a drug that is potentially toxic to my liver. One thing that is supposed to be done if you take it is to have liver function tests on a regular basis. I do. OTOH, you could stop taking it and see a psychic healer for your heart attack. Why don't you, anyway, since you are so distrustful of "left brain thinking"? Coward.
