No pharmaceutical medicine will ever replace natural herbs.... I say that with confidence.
Unfortunately its something the western world sees as a taboo and sponsored doctors are seen as gods.
When you refer to your doctor and he or she take out their pad and start prescribing"legal" pharmaceutical drugs, what theyre actually saying is I have no idea whats wrong with you so take these drugs that have had no safety study and hopefully it will mask the problem for now while causing other health problems that we don't know about and come back later for more.
Next time you walk in your gp, ask your doctor about disease prevention, food, safety of drugs WITH evidence and with absolute certainty you will see a change of attitude and hostility.
