I tend to agree :)
I grew up in a family who believed in only going to a doctor if all else failed, so I guess I carried that into my own adulthood!
I'm turning 40 this year and, other than my cancer battle, and my minor kidney problem...I have never had a broken bone. I still have my tonsils and my appendix....I still have all my own teeth...I've never had surgery, and I can't even remember the last time I had a bad cold or the flu (it's been years...) I have also never had a flu shot in my life...
When I went for my yearly check up at the kidney specialist in June, there was an intern there who was "in training" I guess. He spoke to me briefly before I saw the actual "doctor" and he seemed puzzled/amazed that the issue I had with my kidneys has completely reversed itself just by eliminating most of the salt from my diet, and taking almost the lowest dosage of blood pressure med possible each night. He literally said "that's it? And it's just gone away?!?"
So yeah, I think there must be something to using natural remedies and eating right
