You wrote,[...not all illnesses are best treated with medicine...]
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What are the criteria that you use to determine if something is an illness or not an illness?
B. What are the criteria that you use to determine if something is or is not a medicine?
C. What are then the illnesses that you think are best treated with what you define as a medicine? Which then are not best treated with what you define as a medicine?
