when you make the statement that Western Medicine only treats symptoms I will call you out on it. This is pure horseshit. Let us say that there is so much that medicine doesn't know. That strives to know but has not figured out but they have been trying. Perhaps you only see this. What you don't see is diseases we have figured out and have cured. You don't see Doctors treating the symptoms of scurvy do you? No, that's because we have found the cure. What about lead poisoning? no, that too we figured out and have a cure and treat people. I can go on and on if you want. Are you are ignorant to the fact that we don't see tertiary syphilis anymore or Pott's disease of the bone. Perhaps you have forgotten or never knew. With regard to headache….well if we can find a cause (need eyeglasses, tension, brain tumour, hypertension, vascular malformation) we treat them and often cure the patient. However in the vast majority of the time we find no cause. Why is there something wrong with treating the pain and making it go away? A lot of people buy a lot of tylenol and are very content making there headache pain go away. This is not just something the doctors do. Patients do this all the time a lot. I am a big fan of Cannabis Medicine. However when you make statements like "Cannabis doesn't treat the symptom it cures the disease" therefore it is better then you are just as ignorant as the prohibitionists of the 1930s.
