It's a fact that western medicine cures people.
As for Chinese medicine, well, I doubt it has such a beneficial effect, I think of it as giving more of a placebo effect.
That being said there are still many things we are yet to learn about the body.
I'm sure there are herbs which can sure illnesses, however until I get absolute proof that it works I'm sticking with the medicine which goes through a rather lengthy trial to see if it works or not before it's given to humans.
And besides alternatives medicines aren't completely covered under the NHS.
