Why do people chose to use alternative medicine?
Q. I'm studying alternative medicine for sociology at school and was wondering why people chose to use alternative medicine when modern medicine is available. Even people with cancer, chose to use alternative therapy instead of rely in doctors. I am just very unsure why. Thanks everyone! By the way, I'm not here to bag on you or tell you that what you believe is wrong. I'm just looking to find someone with first hand experience on the matter. People have said that they use them, but have they actually worked for you? Thanks for all of your replies.

A. Well, it certainly is popular. Lots of people use it as an adjunct to science based medicine. Relatively few people use it exclusively. I am not aware of any people who seek out AltMed when they have an actual medical emergency. It tends to be used for ill defined chronic conditions that tend to have symptoms that wax and wane. Part of it is a backlash against science. People tend to look at sciences' failures (thalidomide, Vioxx) and generalize that "all science" is bad...conveniently forgetting the huge gains in health in the last century as a result of a scientific approach. (cures for polio, many cancers, treatment of diabetes etc etc) The current generation has no idea how lucky they are to be alive in an era of science based… [cont.]

A. Chemo is not usually an option for thyroid cancer. Radioactive I131 is administered a few months after your thyroid is removed. The thyroid gland takes up iodine and so do the cancer cells. So by having treatment with I131 you will be killing the remaining cells, The benefits of treatment outweigh the side effects as there are few with I131. As for diet, the is no alternative for thyroid cancer but there is a diet you need to go on before scans and treatments called the Low Iodine Diet. Here is a site that can help you listed below

Maybe the product is research based, maybe it does help but the price we pay will bring us to poverty faster than we can get cured. I solved the problem by going back to basics. I read and read about natural foods and juices and consulted a Chinese herbalists for detox. Then of course the basic 30 minute exercise, walking is fine, it doesn't have to be rigorous. Yoga meditation and vegetarianism is also a good idea. If I were you, I will rediscover nature's inexpensive bounty. It is a mind-body experience!

What could be the death toll of alternative medicine?
Q. While no accurate figures are generally kept, one country's unfortunate public health policy could give us an insight into the level of unnecessary deaths attributable to alternative medicine. Dr. Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, the former South African health minister whose AIDS denial and insistence in using an alternative 'remedy' to treat patients, while delaying the distribution of retrovirals, is blamed for the unnecessary deaths of over 300,000 people in one country alone. If your country adopted alternative medicine to treat a major illness or illnesses, what do you think the death toll could be? Have any other countries adopted any alternative medicines as a public health policy? If not, why not? Yes Dr Frank, I hadn't thought of that. [cont.]

A. Sad to say, but many people are still unaware of the benefits available through alternative medicines and treatments. Times are indeed changing, and the movement toward a healthier and more natural lifestyle is constantly gaining ground. But there will always be resistance and scepticism, even within the medical field. It will be difficult to keep from getting discouraged. If this should become your choice of careers, I wish you the best. But don't just be a student of alternative medicine, become a teacher. We need to be better educated of this lifestyle.

A. In homeopathy, the following medicines may remove the ill effects of allopathic medicine including Geodon. I said ill effects, and therefore the effects you are enjoying will not disturbed.
