Doctors do know alot but as long as we are all alive we will be learning.Its all research either way. Alternative or not its still experimentation in diseases that have no cure or when no matter what the doctor says you can't seem to get better. I don't take the doctors word and no other word because I've known people who have died that way. Not to say people aren't help, I know they are but the alternative way is not evil except for people who are trying to make a buck off false statements but the medical profession has done the same thing as I understand it. I guess the main thing to me is do your own research and make sure what ever you do or take in your body is safe and will be good for you no matter if it helps you specific situation or not.
