What's interesting is that this group is made up of both ends of the spectrum and most in the middle. Most take some medicine and yet look to things like cinnamon to help.
I think the cinnamon helps and the numbers prove it. If it turns out to be the placebo effect, I have no problem with that. The results are what matter. And I like cinnamon. If it were Brussels sprouts, that may be a different story.
I know that cherry juice works for me for gout and the medicine does not, makes me nauseous. Acid reflux disappeared with raw vegetables in the evening.
But it's not the same for everyone. The pills are a known quantity, the natural ones are not. It would be tough for a doctor to prescribe a fixed amount of celery to eat. We pay a premium for packaged foods in supermarkets, why not pills in drug stores?
I pose this all is just to get people thinking. Eastern, Western and folk medicine all have a place in our modern world.
