Or out of a page in a newly bought book you are reading?? Oh and chemicals are bad for you! Only Nature cures the mind (the source of all illness), body and soul.

Don't scorn at alternative medicine, so much of our medicine is derived from roots in other cultures' medical traditions and many of the practices that we now accept as common Western procedure were years ago considered a load of crock. You (we) literally have Asprin today because people in 400 B.C. were using bark and leaves from willow trees to cure headaches. If you saw someone doing that now you'd surely unknowingly call them crazy but we now derive the same exact active ingredient for 99% of the world's Asprin. 25% of pharmaceutical drugs in the US are plant-derived; these cultures you're dismissing just discovered them first and have been using these methods for up to 4,000 years. Just because it's not the method of the culture you were raised in that doesn't automatically make it wrong, you don't know the first thing about most of these "alternative" methods so you should learn a little more before you just brush them off as conformation bias. 80% of the world uses herbal medicine, just because you don't and our scientific community doesn't publish their benefits as mainstream as the drug advertisements we see every 5 minutes on TV, that doesn't disprove anything. Considering the huge western pharmaceutical industry in this country and that most doctors are backed by huge pharmaceutical machines (not to mention that next to Australia we're the only country in the world that allows drugs to be advertised on TV and in the media), so much of our culture and economy is centered around prescription drugs - throw in ideas like holism, self-healing, and natural methods and these pharmaceutical power-houses probably won't be too happy. The medical field is a lot more complex in America because money has become a driving factor so it's not a fair comparison. Alternative medicine doesn't even get a chance in the running when our government literally spends more to develop ONE drug/year than they spend on researching all alternative medicine as a whole. Nonetheless, US science is slowly coming around - the biological benefits of acupuncture, mediation, yoga, physical therapy and body manipulations, hypnosis and guided imagery, and tons of other methods are appearing more and more in lots of credited science journals. UCLA, Harvard Med, UCSF Medical Center and hundreds more have published loads of studies on benefits they've found. While most of the world is far ahead, even 40% of Americans currently report they use alternative medicine. It's brought a lot of health and peace to millions of people's lives. There's so much we don't understand about our body and our world, it's taken time for U.S. mainstream to let it in but I'd be open-minded because you might be biting your tongue at some point in the future. – I have to comment since you made a jab at “alternative medicine..” haha, sorry!
