While I am the first to admit they are expensive, treat symptoms, and overuse drugs and surgery, all of these things have their place. Civilization has given us many bad things (SAD), but medical advances are not all bad. Also, remember that many of the things doctors do are to cover their butt legally, which is the fault of society in general. Do not scoff at the incredible wealth of knowledge that doctors have (and most alternative health care practitioners do NOT), though they do often misinterpret and misuse it. Many medical doctors are becoming more open to alternative therapy; seek them out. Also, as acupuncurists, chiropractors, herbalosts, etc., become more commonplace, the legal syste will ruin them too, if we let them. If I have a limb severed in a freak accident, I am going to a medical doctor. I hope you don't go to your acupuncturist!:) Point is, they are not all bad. -Rob ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
