Alternative Medication

I think we spend too much time and money throwing what's missing at the problem, rather than treating the body's inability to supply what's missing on its own. That is, let's help the body to what it should be doing better. Ok, diet and exercise, changes in lifestyle... I get it.. But it usually comes down to more than that. In other words, let's stop managing the problem and start eliminating it. Too much treating the symptoms and not enough focus on preventing or curing the disease. That being said, I would like to be more confident that there are effective alternatives to synthetic drugs, but maybe the problem is that we don't get as much bang for the buck with alternatives when compared to the relatively quick relief of traditional medications to treat only the symptoms. Surely the cost alone would be worth the effort. In order to do so, one must be ready to step off the well-trodden path of traditional medicine and into the realm of holistic/homeopathic. Again... let's figure out why our bodies need to work correctly and fix that.
