So many advances have been made in medicine over the past century that have extend human life and eased pain and suffering I don't know why people would turn their backs on them.
Well, you're welcome to your opinion. My experience and opinion is that I've had a lot of success with herbs, yoga, etc. and not so much with "modern medicine" on quite a few issues including my back. To each their own. Let the OP ask whatever they choose to ask.
