Abe40 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Orthodox medical practitioners often frown at the claims of Alternate medicine when the later claim that they have cures for diseases such as cancer and AIDS that have stumped orthodox medicine. How do we normal people know the truth or do we take each party at their word?

Mars1 Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Well, drug companies will not tell you that an alternate medicine can cure or help with diseases or even the common cold. If they did they wouldn't be making the billions they make from orthodox medical practices. You would have to try alternative medicines yourself to see if they work.

Medicine that works is called medicine. Turtle and Buffy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it's possible there are cures out there that "western" medicine doesn't want us to know about. Think of all the money and revenue lost if people stopped taking prescription medication for a common condition because there was an alternative solution. On the flip side, I think we have to go with whatever works for us, traditional OR alternative medicine, either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verona Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I used to go to a holistic doctor (a real M.D. who practiced functional medicine) and an allopathic doctor. Each doctor knew I was also seeing the other, and neither particularly approved of my dual approach. Over time, the differences in approach caused a conflict. I still have mixed feelings about which way to go. I lean toward the holistic approach, but I have medical conditions that don't seem to respond to herbal concoctions and other alternative therapies.
