Sure, but the point is whether there are other non-drug treatments that would have the same efficacy without the side effects of the billions spent on Pharma (and maybe spent on things that would further help us???). Example: In the 1800s most people with battle injuries had their limbs amputated to avoid gangrene death. So amputation was "life saving", but today we'd say it was totally unnecessary because we understand the cause and therefore the cure RATHER than the treatment. Depression drugs don't cure the disease. They just treat the symptoms. And the argument is that they really don't do that any better than non-drug methods and come with a ton of side effects include a bleeding wallet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:266032 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
