Natural Medicine Works

Here's another article that reaffirming what we all know, alternative medicine really works.

Overwhelming Proof That Natural Medicine Works
By Jon Herring, Guest editor, Total Health Breakthroughs

In spite of the fact that many pharmaceutical drugs are just synthetic versions of healing compounds that are found in nature, there is a pervasive myth (no doubt fostered by the drug companies) that drugs have been proven to work, while natural remedies have not. Dr. Michael T. Murray, N.D., a professor of natural medicine and the author of more than 20 books, has compiled more than 50,000 scientific articles that prove the opposite is true. In his words:

One of the great myths about natural medicines is that they are not scientific. The fact of the matter is that for most common illnesses there is greater support in the medical literature for a natural approach than there is for drugs or surgery.

So to maintain or improve your health, do what the pharmaceutical companies do when they develop a new drug: Look to nature. Not only will you find therapies that work, they will be safer and less expensive than their synthetic alternatives.
