Although I hope you don't immediately form a bad opinion of someone simply if they say they are moderate. If they're showing all the other symptoms of being an idiot, okay, but I'm hoping you at least give people a chance to show they're that 10% 
On the "herbal remedies", I agree that people should definitely still see their doctors!! But herbal remedies sometimes do have much to offer. My mom is presently taking an herbal "remedy" for her menopause symptoms and it's working very well for her. My #1 cure for most mild illnesses tends to be tea (since why go into the doctor for the flu? they'll just tell you to go home and rest.) and it works wonderfully for me. If there is a legitimate reason behind a herbal remedy, then I don't see why it should be avoided like a plague. That being said, these idiots trying to sell water with almost trace amounts of some random rock totally need to be stoned. But on the whole, I do not find conventional medicine and natural medicine to be incompatible. It just takes a bit more work.
