Opinions on Natural/Alternative medicine?
Hey guys,
What's your opinion on this? My friend (in this video) went through gastroparesis where no modern medicine could cure it; however, alternative treatments and remedies seemed to relieve her of this severe condition.
I personally thought that any medicine that couldn't really be backed up by scientific experiments/reasoning was bullshit..... But now my opinion is changing....

It's bullshit.

Have any of you guys ever had to treat something with 'Alternative' medicine?

5 RepliesYou know what they call an herbal, eastern, unorthodox, unexpected, or previously unsupported treatment that has been reliably and conclusively tested and proven to work? Medicine. Not alternative, not natural, not anything but... medicine. OMG, this mold kills bacteria! That's crazy! Wait a minute, after we study it, it reliably and consistently works in controlled and double-blind testing. Well, that means we should use it. It's why leeches are still a valid therapy in certain circumstances and I've watch maggots be used for wound debridement. If it works consistently and reproducibly for a known and document-able reason, that is medicine. No matter what they are doing, whether it is applying aloe vera or injecting radio-isotopes into a cancerous tumor. ALL medicine.

Until it is conclusively proven to work, I will remain skeptical.

i would try and make a productive post, but i'd just be repeating Recon.

Try it on yourself if you want, fine. Do it on your kids instead of taking them to the real doctor? Bad.

Whoops guys, I fixed the link. Sorry

It's your money, you have every right to spend it on things that don't work.

I say just let doctors prescribe cyanide pills. No long term health problems, no money or insurance problems. They just write a note for one cyanide pill and your good! Hell, I'm sure they could even make fruit flavored liquid form for the kids!

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.
