German Thal: Scientific medicine has been rigorously tested before it is allowed on the market. Alternative medicine has not been tested. It is primarily promoted online through articles, videos, etc. There are a lot of people out there trying to make money selling whatever is the latest "cure" -- magnets, emu oil, vitamin supplements, etc. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so not every medicine is going to make a person feel better -- that's why there are so many different drugs to deal with pain, blood pressure, cancer, etc. But at least prescription meds have been tested for side effects before they are released to the public....Show more

Sometimes or often it doesnt help much at all. Conventional medicine often works much faster but often there are bad side effects.A combination of both is probably the best package as they both have pluses and minuses.but very few conventional doctors are conversant with natural medicine or alternative medicine and regard it as quackery....Show more
