Modern medicine - still the third leading cause of death

[madog]

Its your thread, you define it

OK, then alternative approaches are medicine.

.... so you don't take any medicine?

Yes, I do, as you're letting me define it.

If you're referring to prescription drugs, no, I'm not currently taking any. Last time I did was a few years ago, when I took some antibiotics for what was likely a bacterial lung infection.

So basically you are not against medicine just medicine you choose to dislike    And then you use antibiotics when it is necessary ... some have more problems than you so their span between taking conventional medicine may be shorter .... But you may not always be so lucky.

You will probably increase your intake of conventional medicine as you age, assuming your ignorance doesn't kill you first ...
