Why is it when you go see a doctor, he or she usually will prescribe a medication for your problem? 
Yes, the medicine often eases the symptoms making a more comfortable environment until the body can heal itself (we know thats what takes place when we get back to normal) but, often the medicines side effects can be worse than the problem.
I won't go into the Big Pharmaceutical Company profits and all that, but please somebody lets get more information out to the general public to find "Natural" homeopathic symptom relievers and nutritional cures.  Chicken soup does wonders for a cold.
There are some brave doctors and others leading in this direction, but we need to wisely sort through and investigate the authors and read the footnotes to the scientific information given to us.
Did you know, if a doctor accepts sample medicines from some pharmacutical company sales people, the company can - and does- use that "acceptance" sometimes as an endorsement of the medicine?  Thus, the quote, "Doctor Recommended"
Lets become educated about what we put in our bodies and critical consumers in this world of overwhelming information.
