Re: Alternative medicine/therapy

No. I don't believe in it, because most "alternative medicine" is at best the placebo effect at work and it still sucks that you're paying to have smoke blown up your ass. No thanks, I don't have money to spare for that sort of thing. At worst, you have no idea what you're taking/doing and how useful or harmful it is, because it hasn't undergone a proper scientific examination.

This. There are some things that have been tested and shown to have positive effects (like cranberry juice helping with UTIs, zinc working on colds) but the vast majority of it is total quackery.

Zinc is "alternative medicine"? Oy vey.

It's the sulphuric acid in cranberry juice that's the active ingredient, according to one study I read anyway.

A lot of herbs have active ingredients like that. I mean, aspirin originally came from a plant. Many are not prescribed by doctors but are by naturopaths, and are actually evidence based.

Some are (widely) anecdotally based as yet, because they haven't been studied enough yet. Others have and found to be ineffective.

Just because it's a pill or other extraction not prescribed by a doctor doesn't mean it's "alternative" bunkum. "Women's problems" are something that have had a lot of success with herbs. But it's best to educate yourself about the active ingredients.
