Complementary cures

It was amusing..to see the contrast between the 2 2-hourly lecture slots we had today. First two were on anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. M was telling us about the drugs used, side effects, pharmacokinetics...and it all seemed so...... *sigh* depressing. There arent any 'wonderdrugs', no one knows what's really wrong, horrible side-effects. So many of us came out of the lecture feeling (........) blank *blink blink*.

Then we had S from Switzerland come to talk to us about complementary medicines. She's a herbalist and foot reflexologist. It was so promising and mood-lifting to listen to the future of complementary medicines and how effective they can be. Minimal side-effects and herbal meds have the longest clinical trials ever...withstanding the winds of time of evolving modern medicines. (Refer to time plot below) Afterall, modern meds DID branch out of holistic herbal meds. =) How interesting would it be to pursue a degree in herbal meds as a post-grad.

I'm trying to find where it says in the Bible that there are cures from leaves..ground..plants... Hmm...where is it??
