Do you prefer holistic and homeopathic remedies over pharmaceuticals?
Definitely. At least most of the time. I know that sometime we have no choice but to accept the pharmaceuticals but I do prefer to do my research on them. I want to find out all that I can about side effects, how they will effect me, personally, and discuss this all with my doctor - preferably before I take them. I have done this and he has found milder alternatives.
Absolutely Kevin! Research is imperative before using home remedies and such. They can helpful when used properly, but I don't think people realize the harm that can occur if some are used improperly.
I recall seeing a commercial for a drug which had a side effect causing what it was supposed to stop!
Yes Holistic and homeopathic remedies have helped me a lot more than pharmaceuticals. Pharmaceuticals cover up the symptoms and did not help boost my immune system. Holistic and homeopathic remedies are products of plants and their properties. Plants have been used for centuries to cure ailments and help with skin and hair. I trust the power of natural healing more than I trust synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Amen! What remedies do you use the most or find most helpful?

There are a number of organized groups with vehement leadership who want to subdue those who want to boost their immune systems with natural methods. They use circular reasoning and illogic. They do not connect the mind/body system. My recent hub warns against these ultra negative persons. See...
