Drug therapy or herb therapy has to involve our body. Only drugs or herbs without our body is no therapy.

For decades, we have mistakenly considered drug therapy to be modern and scientific, but not so with herbal therapy. The reason is that we have never paid much attention to the most important aspect of our therapeutic process (therapy, for short) – our body.  Without our body, there is no therapy.  Yes, modern drugs are scientific, often developed with highly advanced scientific technologies at the molecular or cellular level, zeroing in on a minuscule part of our body.  As far as I know, none of them is developed within our complex body with intra- and/or inter-cellular communication among other living matters that make up our body.  On the other hand, herbs or herbal formulations may be developed scientifically (though highly unlikely at this point in time) or by whatever traditional means.  Nevertheless, like drugs, these herbs and formulas meet chaos as soon as they enter our body, making drug therapy NOT scientific, but rather, a trial-and-error endeavor.  Read about what drug therapy really is as described in my earlier post, “A Disruptive Concept in Drug Therapy.”
