There is a place for medicine. Hip replacements for eg. But I am personally leery of anything that offers a drug as the answer. Many stories to tell there, but a recent one is high blood pressure.

"Drugs! You need drugs!" they all chirped. Instead, I went to a naturopath and using herbs, celery (a natural diuretic ) and getting more consistent with exercise and voila! Normal blood pressure once again.
As a personal opinion based on the people I happen to know, there are more hip and knee replacement that go wrong either immediately or in less than 3 years than people realize. Most of these are classed as "successful" (because the patient didn't die? Because they can walk, but in excruciating pain? I don't know, but it doesn't feel like a "success" to them). I, also personally, took my advanced arthritis to mild arthritis in my hip, which I was told was impossible. My point being, be wary of EVERYTHING and do your own research. Just because a person who could afford a degree in medicine says something is so, that does not mean it is so, or that they were top of their class.
