annoyedsas, this isn't meant as a personal attack as such, but a blanket statement saying that medicines only treat the symtoms without treating the cause is entirely untrue. Nothing in your body happens that isn't the result of a chemical reaction, and 'natural remedies' either sell the same chemicals under a different name or do nothing and just wait for the body to recover on its own. The 'toxins' that so many snake-oil pedelers talk about and claim must be purged with their special all-natural treatment? Complete BS. Believe me on this, what goes on in your body is no more magical or mysterious then what happens under the hood of my car. The reason there are so many success stories with alternative medicine is because in the vast majority of cases your body will recover all on it's own, sticking a needle in your skin makes no difference one way or the other.

Oh, please let me know what non-synthetic alternatives there are to chemotherapy, you'll just have to show how it works.
