Yes I would. Of course it would depend on what the illness was. For example, if it were carpal tunnel I would consider natural treatments since the treatments doctors give are surgery and that might be a waste.
I agree. I think natural healing should be respected. There have been some remedies used for a very long time. Just think of the Native Americans. Some of those things are all around us and we don't even know what they are.
I would certainly recommend trying a natural remedy before I jumped off into having surgery. I would actually try every option before I went under the knife!
