I would much rather hear of the litigatory process, knowing that both sides are evenly (as much as possible) represented, then, to allow one side to carry on with its way. And, I recognize that others may feel this is just one more example of "Big Brother".

I know modern medical science is, well, science, but herbal supplements seem a little out there to me.

but he has already tried the medical science way and it has proved to be too painful and too stressful for him. He does not wish to continue with that treatment and I think that is his RIGHT as an American let alone his right as a human being.

Of course a Dr doesn't think it's a good idea to seek holistic and natural remedies. heck when I got sick of being put on pain killer after pain killer for my shoulder with no result I decided to go to a Chiropractor and of course everytime I mentioned this to a Dr I was faced with "well what do you think they can do for you? They aren't going to help you." I went to a Chiropractor and the pain is gone.

Idon't think anyone who hasn't practiced that particular kind of medicine should have any say in whether it will be effective or not.
