See where your coming from.

You MAY be right, most cases I can think of are a treatment kinda thing, not a cure.

i guess thats my point. curing things and helping one cope with thing are two different things.  i dont consider insulin medicine.

You may not consider it as such. People who use, prescribe and manufacture them, do.

I guess according to your definition we could count spinach and raisin bran as medicine as well

I work with people who have a mental illness. Anything they have as a prescription is considered a medication by staff, service users and the organisation as a whole. None of those medications are going to cure anyone of anything, they're simply to help reduce/remove/manage symptoms.

thats cool.  I work for a pharmaceutical company.  Ive worked for my mothers buisness as clinical trial research assistant.   Ive handled work from Merk, Baxter, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline and bunch of other no names.  Im sure Ive recieved moneyt from the same companies that manufacture the drugs you call medications.  Glad we settled our resumes now

So in your mother's case of being a type 2 diabetic you would consider a raw food diet to be medicine, given that it's been proven to cure type 2 diabetes as no pharmaceutical can?

Your definition, not mine.

Seems I need to pull out a definition here:

medicine [ˈmɛdɪsɪn ˈmɛdsɪn]
n
1. (Medicine) any drug or remedy for use in treating, preventing, or alleviating the symptoms of disease
2. (Medicine) the science of preventing, diagnosing, alleviating, or curing disease

cant you understand the difference im talking about here? therapy vs medicine?  according to you anything that helps maintain a condition, not heal, is medicine. so, using that logic.  since spinach makes you stronger and raisin bran makes you regular, these things are medicine.  Ive been clear in my view of what medicine is, you are either ignoring my points completly just to harp on about your work with people with mntal illness or are just dumb.  I dont think you are dumb in the least so stop ignoring me.  no amount of your argument is going to change my point of view.

your experience being around mental illness means squat compared to my experience working for the pharmaceutical industry, in my book.
