Unless my doctor tells me I am in a risk I will not touch drugs and medicine. I think Mamaherb can be used for common and uncomplicated conditions and saves lots of time going to doctors or alternative health professionals. It can also help in serious conditions like high cholesterol. They have excellent treatments for that for example. It is amazing to read about treatments that people uploads from the entire world. I am an "expert" and yet, most of the treatments in Mamaherb are new to me. I also think that medical treatments can be suggested only by doctors. i think that this site is for alternative health solutions that are suggested by people from all over the world and were used by many generations. I only use natural treatments so this is the place for me.

“when someone is looking for a cure – one solution does not come in place of the other (in most cases)”

I also totally disagree with this, people are easily disgruntled with the inadequacies of conventional medicine after suffering frustrations with it simply because the driver for it is capitalistic and the point of delivery is totally uncaring.

On the flip site I also know that Nobel prize winner Professor Barry Marshall

is responsible for curing more than 5 million people year, by performing a daredevil stunt going against Glaxo who is alleged to have conspired against his discovery of Helicobacter Pylori causing ulcers etc. for over 15 years.

Managing Mamaherb. First - an amazing post. Really. A very thorough writing indeed. I disagree though (naturally :) with the conclusion. I think mixing the two “worlds” would have been a mistake. The scope, simply, is too broad to cover. Plus - when someone is looking for a cure - they do not “mix” solutions in mind - one solution does not come in place of the other (in most cases) and thus not sought after in one place as alternatives. That said, of course only time will tell. We decided to follow this route since it’s closer to our inclinations and we viewed it as a better focus for the site. We will be very attentive to the users, and with time we’ll make changes according to what will be asked from us (we even have a designated “Suggestions” page in the site). I'll be happy to hear your thoughts here as well, Elad First – a disclosure – I’m ‘the’ Elad Daniel talked about in the first paragraph. Managing Mamaherb.
