Why didn’t they do this for years with all the quack garbage not just on the net, but on TV? We’ve had on-going snake-oil sales, and that includes it creeping into the medical establishment. “Alternative” and “integrative” and “complementary” all show the medical establishment condoning garbage that has no proof.
Actually no.
Let's talk about an alternative treatment for something simple like warts. Removing them can be both expensive and painful. Especially the ones on the bottom of your feet.
Now the doctor can do that or he can tell you to go take a simple over the counter medicine for a completely different condition. About 30% of the time the medicine will cause your warts to simply and painlessly go away.
That is what alternative medicine is. It is something that has a chance of working and may even be better then the sure fire treatment for you. Or it may not work for you at all.
There is no harm in trying it at first. But doctors are now wholly own but hospitals which are wholly owned by big medicine. And they do not approve of you trying something that is alternative. Let's get you in and freeze those suckers off. In about five treatment spread over a few weeks that we will charge you up the wazoo for!
For some people it is the only thing that will work. For others, totally unnecessary.
