It is a known fact that most medical school textbooks are underwritten by major drug companies, and the medical community and pharmaceutical companies are are intertwined. Thankfully, a minority of forward thinking MD's have begun dispensing herbal or other natural medicines rather than synthetic drugs, and the results have been quite good. Herbal remedies are not as strong, and have fewer side effects. Clearly we have a long way to go, but I am seeing slow, but steady growth in this direction and am very happy about it. As the ancient physician Hippocrates once said “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
