For people saying that Natural Medicine works, let me say that that is not Homeopathy.
Homeopathy literally is diluting portions of the substance making you sick and turning that into a medicine. Homeopathy literally means that. Homeo, as is, something that is the same or similar. So, Homeopathy literally means to dilute ailments and to feed them back to the patient.
There is plenty of science on dilution to disprove it.
Natural Medicine is a different thing entirely, though, most Naturpaths, as they call themselves, are Homeopathic practitioners that have changed professional identity in order to escape the negative connotation of "homeopath." Though, not all are.
The doctor I go to now has both his naturpathic and MD degrees, his MD being from OHSU. And he is a really good doctor who knows where to draw the line between bucking the pharmaceutical industry and prescribing drugs when people need it.
Though, last I heard there were several lawsuits out against the manufacturer of Zicam, a zinc-based "natural" cold remedy that has been know to damage the nose and cause loss of smell, so, in short, do not trust a naturpath unless they have their MD, too.
