It's interesting to me how medicine has grown and changed over the years. Unfortunately, we're still in the "take a pill" stage of medicine. While it hasn't worked for you, you should realize that in many ways it was a great step up from previous stages of medicine. In general, the body will heal itself when left alone. The "take a pill" system just allows the person to keep going long enough for the body to heal itself.

I do see signs that doctors are starting the slow process of trying to do more than mask symptoms. It will be a slow process, though.
