Yes, and no.

I use an over the counter diuretic instead of a prescription strength one, because the prescription strength ones are way too strong and I have had bad reactions. I retain water in my hands only, and if I don't take a diuretic then I can't use my hands some days. It's frustrating, but at least over the counter remedies do give me relief.

I take prescription allergy and acid reflux medicine though.

I'm not opposed to modern medicine at all, but on occasion I do find that the over the counter remedy, or the herbal remedy is better for my body (if only because they are not as strong in general, and I don't always need a battle axe to handle something that a hatchet could do).

My doctor is pretty happy to suggest natural products if at all possible, which I'm happy about. I don't take very many, either prescription or natural, but I like that she's willing to suggest the options for treating things.

I take a ton of vitamins (about 24 per day) - but when necessary I take the regular medicine including testosterone and cialis - even though there are supposed natural remedies. The vitamins have helped me avoid the usual sniffles, colds and flu - not much more than that.

I take several supplements to support my health and my unborn baby's. I am not opposed to pharmaceutical medications when needed, but I like to try and PREVENT illness, and if it does occur then treat it naturally if possible.

im actually planning on taking with my doctor about this when i go in. I'm currently taking two prescription medications for a mood & sleep disorder, and i was wanting to taper down and eventually get off my pills. I've known people have have great success with herbal supplements in loo of a medication for mood disorders such as depression.
I should be taking fish oils though.

I hate taking pills of any kind--so was curious about what others are doing for their health. I am trying a couple natural remedies for my RA, but they take about a month to work.

No, I use both. I don't like swallowing pills but I'll take a supplement or medication if I think it will really help.

If I can, I try to do neither. Luckily I don't have any serious diagnoses so I can avoid it.

I do like natural remedies for tummy aches/nausea, which I get in spells sometimes. Ginger tea and those compression wristbands really do make a difference for me!

Sometimes during cold season I will take Airborne too, because I get so paranoid!

I do and quite often. For example turmeric powder works far better on my hay fever than over-the-counter antihistamines.
