Now here I am speaking as though I am an expert, which I am not... but I really do not trust the established medical community, as a whole. Common sense and careful observation go nearly as far as an educated medical opinion, and in some cases, goes alot farther. The physician who graduates at the bottom of his or her class is still addressed as "Doctor". No, I'm not paranoid, but I have run into many many physicians who mistake the title "Doctor" for the title "God, Supreme Being, Higher Power, etc." Medical schools haven't been around nearly as long as people have, but home remedies have. That's not to say "Medicine" doesn't have its place... just don't discount alternative therapies until you know the facts. Okay, I'm gettin' off my soapbox, now... and really, I'm not paranoid... it's just that everyone's out to get me...
