If you're speaking of big-pharma specifically, then I agree. The conventional "health" system does not look for the problem, and only makes attempts to remove the discomfort of sympoms. Then apply more drugs to address the side effects of the previous drug, and repeat.
True health involves answering questions about one's lifestyle. In many cases, an unbalanced lifestyle comes from unresolved emotions. By tracing backwards to the ingredients we have added to our being, and to our emotions and perspectives, we can discover the source of the issue, make corrections, and become balanced again.
