I agree with most of what you say, and feel that social structures are driving us to the convenience of pills and away from more time consuming treatments.
However, be careful not to overstate your case and discredit the valuable things you have to say. I suggest you continue to speak about the benefits of med alternatives while taking care not to present it in an anti-med context, lest your important points be dismissed.
On a page where the central topic seems to be meds, I found your post heartening if a tad polarizing.
Much of what you say overlaps with Buddhist philosophy. My favorite Buddhist sage is Thicht Naht Hahn. Try "Peace is Every Step" on Amazon and see what others have to say. I am not a Buddhist but his writings have been very helpful to my recovery.
