Perscription medications or alternatives medicine

[melodylogan45]

I do not like taking medicine, but I do .  I do use foods, like lemons,
Fresh garlic, flaxseed and others to help with some health issues.

Which do you take?

[singletonb]

I have been taking supplement(garlic, omega 3, and multi vitamin) for a few years

[pstovall]

I use supplements, essential oils, energy medicine exercises, and EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique, (a self help method that taps on different acupuncture points on the body) on a daily basis. I will do anything to keep from having to take medicine.  You would not believe the number of times I've had those terrible side effects that most people don't experience. For years people have been using alternative treatments successfully, and I'm a believer in them.

For chronic problems, I usually take homeopathic remedies. But if I get a sinus infection or something like that, I'll get a prescription from the doctor.

I like to stick with herbal remedies. I turned my partner onto Hops and always buy her a new bottle when she runs out (good for stomach ailments, anxiety, trouble sleeping). I was taking a multivitamin, calcium-magnesium supplement, B12, and vitamin C until I ran out of all but 1 and had no money for replacements! For my depression and anxiety, I've turned to l-tyrosine and 5-HTP, which have helped some. I'll always look for a natural remedy before turning to OTC or prescription. 

I've known people that have some luck using crystals, too!
