I can't believe you people are that stupid. Hardly any of those trendy alternative remedies have been proven. If you risk your life on that stuff, you deserve to die. |

Mr. MedStudent (if you truly are one), it is you that are wrong about proven alternative health remedies. Just to name a few, St. John's Wort, Gingko Biloba, meditation, tomatoes, the mediterranian diet, and Saw Palmetto have all been proven effective in clinical trials.
Also, you should check out the book Power Healing, by Leo Galland, M.D. He is a doctor that practices integrative medicine, i.e., traditional medicine combined with some alternative remedies. He persuasively demonstrates some of the falacies underlying the traditional medical model, and suggests viable alternative solutions. He also has a good web site at www.mdheal.com.
