The NHS is widely opposed to natural medicines that just don't work.
Indeed they dont work in a traditional way, but in a lot of cases, just taking something (whatever it might be) can help a lot of people. Its pretty cheap as well.
having said that, i still love the NHS. Free healthcare for everyone is a brilliant idea, even if it does have its downsides.
I think a problem with the NHS is that the normal aproach to any health problem is to throw tablets at it (which all have side effects) I think that spending more time talking to patients and thinking outside the box a little would improve treatment. Also, the NHS seems to be pretty poor at dealing with mental health problems.
I'd much prefer the NHS to private health care though - I'd probably be dead or hugely in debt without it!
