Many medications are created by, with, or from herbs. Many people 
prefer to use natural ways to prevent or cure medical problems. I 
have heard that there are herbs to help the body ward off cancer.  
The health stores are not allowed to provide information on the 
benefits of the herbs. When we get prescriptios filled, we always 
receive a printout on usage and side effects.
