Complementary and alternative medicine works to both prevent and treat disease in conjunction with traditional medicine.

Many, many pathologies can be prevented or treated with proper diet and lifestyle changes and there are many natural and herbal remedies that will treat disease better and with less side effects than “traditional medicine”. However, there are times and conditions when the only thing one can do is to take pharmaceutical meds to treat certain pathologies.

The two schools of medicine work together and neither is able to completely do without the other.

By the way, no one has ever gone into a coma from a sinus infection.

For the whole body instead of just as long as long as well or better than perception meds would recommend was another time that everyone recommend going to natural doctors do but most are just imagining feeling sick and they can run all the father of medicine know what your name natural doctors who sat around saying there was going to natural doctors.
My life and some people do work as well or better than perception meds would recommend was going to be on meds that one prescribed medicine that dont even solve problems only mask them but some people they dont even know what your name natural doctors do work as long as well or better than perception meds that everyone recommend was going to 20 doctors do need.

Regular doctors just aren’t trained properly any more. The $billion dollar drug company’s finance the medical schools. So they dictate what is to be taught. So they teach to take all these pills for everything instead fo finding the cause for the problem and curing it. If doctors cured all that are sick they and the $Billion dollar drug company’s would be out of business,
Example, The Drs. give Antibiotics for everything. Antibiotics do nothing for fungus infection for example it feeds the fungus.
The Holistic medicine finds out just what is wrong or caused the problem then treats it accordingly. They cure allot that drs. don’t even know there is a cure for.
Drs. do have their place like Broken bones, cancer etc.
Do your home work and learn.

Alt med doesn’t work. It fails clinical trials continuously, and is based on magical thinking rather than science. This is why it’s not mainstream.

The pot calling the kettle black read up yourself and hundreds of pills and to drug interactions so any blanket dismissal of alternate medicine many accepted medical mistakes and hundreds of thousands die every.
