Yes I do.

Well that would be incorrect. Medicine fights disease, they doesn't improve health.

Pills aren't better than vegetables.
Dieting isn't better than exercise.

After all, isn't one of the suspected causes of Autism all the immunization shots (modern medicine) we give our children? While not a proven fact, even the CDC supports continued research in this area:

Vaccines and Autism Theory

At a glance: The weight of currently available scientific evidence does not support the hypothesis that vaccines cause autism. [b]We recognize there is considerable public interest in this issue, and therefore support additional research regarding this hypothesis. CDC is committed to maintaining the safest, most effective vaccine supply in history.[/i]
