...Jen, keep in mind there are differences as well.<br /><br />If you tell me that there is a tradition of using X herb to relieve Y ailment, then I'll look for the scientific reports that support that. Willow Bark does get rid of a headache cause it has the same ingredients as aspirin. But I prefer the aspirin. <br /><br />Others are just wishful and hopeful thinking.Timothy S.

However, I do agree that alternative methods of healing should never be seen as miracles, nor should they be used in exclusion to more "scientific" treatments.

But beyond the placebo effect (which is a weird-but-real thing) no, not effective. <br /><br />And expressing what I think Jenny McCarthy should have done to her on behalf of all the children who WILL DIE -- would be unchristian.

Seroxat is addictive and the withdrawal is a bitch but it works and I'm not going to toss it aside for some St. John's Wort that did nothing, just because it's natural. <br /><br />As for the vaccines and autism, that was all media scaremongering over here, that really damaged things and some people still believe it. I can't believe how stupid some people can be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
