I love hearing about natural and other treatments for illnesses. Being an RN I can tell you that way too many people take way too many pills! Doing a hospital admission can be eye-opening when you get the list of all the drugs people are on.
I applaud all of you for searching for alternatives :D
Please note this is just a general comment. There are certainly reasons to take medications but we need to be pro-active with our health, as you have shown!! :)
