I will use the natural method for some things, but I have never cured myself of anything other than with medicine.
If I have a cold, I will have some chicken soup. Maybe its a myth that it helps cure anything, but at least the vapor clears your head for a while, and it tastes nice while you are feeling down. However, if I have anything serious, I get myself to a doctor.
I agree with @LornaLove in that we trust doctors too readily, because some of them are probably morons that got lucky, or lazy, or not paying attention, after all they are human. However, the scientific peer review double blind clinical trial medicine of the west, is you number one stop if you have any illness.
Being sick is very serious, and all evidence points to western medicine as the best that we have for now. given how serious your health is, I can’t really put my trust in anything else.
Yes, you can do yourself a load of good by drinking more water, and cutting out certain things, but for anything above a common cold or or temporary discomfort of some kind, I get myself to a doctor, and if have any kind of problem with that specific doctor, I can get a second doctor to take a look instead.
