Alternative medicine is OK if one does not become too obsessed with
"herbology" and "all-natural" cures. The real magic is not whether a
given therapy is "natural," but rather, whether it presents a solution
that is more effective. For instance, not all home rememdies are
"natural" or herbal. Did you know that one study showed duct tape
occlusion to be more effective at removing warts than cryotherapy?

That one really pissed off the dermatologists.

<lol> I know exactly what you mean...
I've personally found tho' that in many cases, many _chronic_ health
problems are best treated nutritionally. It tends to have fewer negative
side effects.

I'm no disciple of being anti-allopathy. I know better.
But sometimes.........

I know that in Mellisa's case, the mix of L-Cystine and L-Lysine fixed
her psoriasis and Prednisone never helped. Prednisone has horrible long
term side effects.

A balance has to be found sometimes, and the vast majority of doctors
know Jack squat about alternative therapies. I'm blessed with an
Endocrinologist that likes to balance the two, and takes the trouble to
do her research or talk to other Doctors that have already done it.

That's too funny.

So, any reliable book recommendations?
