There is a problem, in that a medical doctor will often prescribe you expensive irritable bowel syndrome drugs when eating live culture yogurt or swallowing some culture pills (from those "natural" "organic" pharmacies) will solve the problem faster and cheaper.

The "natural" stuff is about half real and half hokum.

Unfortunately, it seems like regular medicine is, too.




This is where the problem is. How does one properly filter the real from the fake? I find myself quite annoyed with the whole thing. (especially homeopathy)
