Oh, don't get me started on the "it's natural so it's good for you" people. *rolls eyes* My reply to them is always "arsenic is all natural, too."

I actually do take quite a few herbs but I do the research about them before I ingest them. (My primary migraine "medicine" is an herbal combination.) I also use quite a few homeopathic remedies. Some work. Some don't. The ones that do work have over the top amazing results. The ones that don't, just don't. Compare that to the allopathic medicines I've taken. The ones that work have often given me horrible side effects and the ones that don't have just been horrible. My prime example of that was the one medicine that I was absolutely convinced was going to kill me before my body had the chance to flush it out. Yeah. I'm not a big fan of allopathic medicine. When even the people prescribing the medicines don't understand them, I am quite leery.


ETA: Rant got triggered. I apologize.
