Well this is a debate on natural cures, eg 'Cures to Cancer existing' but the FDA is blocking it for money purposes.

Read some of that before posting here.

real or no?

I have used that guide for quite a while. It works very well for me.

that's an easy one - since 90%+ of all the medicines we use are based on natural material

take the most obvious one - aspirin, The active extract of the bark, called salicin, after the Latin name for the White willow - the chemical name for asprin, acetylsalicylic acid is called so for that reason.

how about this for a website

Im refering to the concept of the actual idea that people have claimed cures to cancer, etc.

As in, the book that that guy made?

[|nfinite]

My dad bought a book from some well-known doctor and what not.

The "cures" for certain illnesses or pains seem to go away with the things that this Doctor recommended. For instance:

I was having an Asthma Attack when I was about 12 or so. My father cracked open the book and it said to drink Coca-Cola...

Well I did, and it actually helped.

I don't think he talks about the serious diseases like, Cancer or Diabetes.

I don't really have an opinion on this one.

Well, the most basic components of medicine are all natural. Some natural meds don't work as well, or as fast, sometimes not at all. But they usually pwn.
I regularly use Pennyroyal, echnachea, and witch hazel. Good stuff, good stuff.

Well, natrually (haha, get my pun?). Most modern medicines are extracts or purifications of natural cures. Even non medicines are purified and refined: take heroin for example. Thats stronger than strait opium poppy because its been extracted over and over again. Of course, thats why its so damned addictive, but like most things, its a trade off. Effective pain relieve > addiction. For junkies at least.

Can't be that good if you have to take it regularly

Of course natural medicine works, but I dont believe that 'alternative medicines' like acupuncture or faith healing (...) works.

I'm refering to things such as supposed 'Cures to Cancer' yet again. As if these really are true or not.

Cures for things such as cancer? No, probably not directly. Cancer is a very complicated disease.
However, I guess where we all started digressing, there are natural components somewhere in everything. How much of a role it will have, I'm not sure.

OR...I constantly get myself in to painful situations.

On a side note, accupuncture works. Back ache? Go get some needles shoved in some pressure points, instant relief.

True-say. Acupuncture is just an advanced way to use pressure points. I can relieve minor pain in my back just by finding the right pressure point; anyone can. Acupunture just advances the process to work for major pain. Then again, I still think its disgusting to have needles shoved into you, but hey, it works.

Hmm. On the contrary, I do think more minor cures exist that the fda wont give around.
