Please tell me why this doctor would have somebody on two man-made drugs, "would be a combination of Zofran and dexamethosone." instead of just one natural, marijuana. In the grand scheme of things common sense should dictate a natural approach first and pharmaceuticals the last resort! Doctors should be making more of an effort to catch up with society and stop pushing pills to cure what ails. They are losing respectability in their lack of knowledge when it comes to natural products and the philosophy behind natural medicine including the preventative approach with respect to natural medicines. - --Ken Rimmer Elgin Quebec - --- MAP posted-by: Tom
