Personally, I go for the holistic approach. Take care of my body, and use the lowest-impact method of treatment. If that means antibiotics, then that's what I do. But I end up taking prescription meds maybe once every three years, and that's when I end up with a serious case of bacterial bronchitis.
Most of the time, my "meds" include glucosamine (not really natural, but better than extreme pain meds or synvisc shots, in my opinion) lyseine, cinnamon, green, white, and red teas, and zinc.
