It's my understanding that in Europe,Asia and many other parts of world, herbal remedies and natural medicines are widely used to treat many illnesses, with equal or better results. But here in the US it's illegal to prescribe that type of treatment because of FDA drug regulations. It seems the only type of medicines were legally allowed to prescribe can only be purchased from pharmacuetical corporations at extraordinary costs.

Look at all the commercials on TV literally pushing drugs onto the public. I get a kick out of the possible "side effects", worst that the afflictions their trying to treat. Want to talk about drug dealing, turn on your TV.
