       I have kept quite while watching	many discussions go past in
       net.med.	 Well here are my comments on this subject.  The
       opinions	I am expressing	here are my own.

       I personnally support any natural method	over the use of
       drugs and treatments with possibly dangerous side effects.
       There is	of course a place for modern medicine, I wish
       though that they	would be more open to all the avenues
       available in helping people.

       To Eric I suggest you search for	a homeopathic doctor or	a
       wholistic clinic	where you might	find licenced doctors who
       are open	to the many ways to help people.  Also you might
       search into House Bill 6050 sponsered by	Claude Pepper.	It
       is supposed to help prevent "Quacks" from extorting money
       from old	people.	 However its effect would be to	prevent
       those of	us who have choosen to be guardians of our own
       health from having free access to the foods and vitamins	we
       would like to have.

       To Mark I implore that you use an open mind.  The human body
       does do many things that	seem like magic.  I am a lay person
       who has taken the interest to invest in my own and my
       families	wellness.  I am	an engineer and	like to	see facts
       also, and I have	found many people (some	in my own family
       group) who have been helped by natural methods.	The proof
       of hundreds of years of human experience	to me is important.
       There are many promenent	doctors	who support natural methods
       when they are appropriate.

       To Brint	I also don't believe there is a	medical	conspiracy.
       I do see	that there is a	set of medical blinders	that cause
       doctors to do the "standard treatment" when there are many
       other ways.  Finding the	right one should be the	patients
       responsibility.	Unfortunatly most of us	can't be bothered
       to take an interest in our own health.  By the way Laetrile
       also goes by the	name Vitamin B17 and in	nature is found
       only in the seeds of fruits.  When was the last time you	ate
       the seeds of a fruit in this currently seedless society (try
       and find	an Orange with seeds in	it).  Apricot seeds are	a
       good natural source of B17.

       I've spoken my peace.  I	welcome	any comments.  I am only a
       student and like	to hear	real experiences.  I wish there	was
       a net.health where people could share ways to be	healthy
       instead of a net.med where the peolpe are already sick.	If
       there are others	who are	familier with such terms as
       Homeopathics, reflexology and iridology and use herbs or
       vitamins	on the net please send mail.
