This is something I know very little about, so educate me, please. I understand concerns about using drugs for every little thing; I also understand that, for a long time, conventional medicine was unwilling to look at many "natural" remedies. (Historically, that was to distinguish trained doctors from quacks.)
That said, I also look at the unbelievable successes of modern medicine (like the fact that almost all children in the first world survive infancy, and most women survive childbirth), and have trouble understanding why someone would entirely reject it.
