I always go for the natural remedies first, no matter what. My partner had a medical issue a while ago; his doctor wanted to do surgery. Instead, we checked Dr Andrew Weil's site, tried what he suggested, and it worked, and he hasn't had a problem since. There are other sites for natural remedies out there, but some of them are just trying to sell stuff. Dr Weil has been around for years, is a Harvard-trained physician, and an ethnobotanist. He has been recommending certain remedies and supplements for years; but only recently has the scientific research proved that he is right. He has changed some of his recommendations over the years, but the basic premise hasn't changed. I highly recommend his book: 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, as well as his book on healthy aging.
