Am I crazy?

I've taken antibiotics for years for my chronic sinus infections, bronchitus, and rhinitis. I've had docs tell me it's all in my head...my tummy troubles AND my chronic illnesses.

I've been going to a chiropracter who told me antibiotics are BAD NEWS and he suggests trying to heal my body naturally.

This makes sense to me. If I have a fever and I take tylenol, I am taking away the one thing that can fight the infection: the fever! If I'm tired and run down, it probably means I need to rest. Taking meds to cover up symptoms and treat symptoms won't get to the root of the prob, right?!

I went without tylenol last week whe I had a fever...I haven't taken anything for my sinus infection (except for two large pots of chicken soup!) and I'm feeling better. Not ALL better...but significantly better.

I come from a family that's big into medicine and the traditional medical route. They think I'm nuts! Am I crazy or can I get better by listening to my body and healing naturally (with things like echinacea and chicken soup instead of antibiotics)?

Sorry for the long post....thanks for any advice!

*hugs*
