Why can't I replace my Zoloft w/ natural means....this goes for other drugs too....what I mean is this...lithium & Zoloft work for me...BUT they have crummy side effects...so, why is it so hard for even a top-notch place like Pfeiffer Treatment Center to replicate that effect using natural means? to see the mechanisms of action of drugs and then replicate it with natural means? Carl Pfeiffer said that for ANY drug that can treat a condition that there is a natural alternative that can also do it (that's known as "Pfeiffer's Law")....so then how come they can't study drugs' actions and then replicate them? I guess what I'm also asking is how come Pfeiffer's literature on natural treatments makes SO MUCH SCIENTIFIC SENSE and is based on fact (chemistry, physiology, biology and all that good stuff) YET I can take any number of synthetic, man-made drugs and get VERY effective FAST results and Pfeiffer's treatment consists of handfuls of vitamins, minerals, etc., and after 4 MONTHS I don't even feel much of a difference? (I've noticed some positive things but NOT major effects like w/ drugs). Why do artificial drugs work better than the REAL natural ingredients?
