[QUOTE="ChrisSamsDad, post: 1265188, member: 13978"] Well, vitamins are hardly alternative medicine, they're pretty much mainstream, but alternative medicine practitioners love 'prescribing' them in large doses, because they're fairly safe on the whole, and many people have a deficiency because of illness or lifestyle, so it's reasonable shot. A Naturopath is not a doctor, or even a trained medical professional - you might just as well take advice off the bloke down the bike shop - occasionally he'll get it right too. It sounds like you gave your doctor one chance to get your treatment right, it often isn't that simple - doctors will treat you for what is the most likely, then if that doesn't work, they'll move on. The Placebo effect is only really useful for a few symptoms which are quite intangible - it could for example reduce your perceived level of pain, or help you feel more positive until your body heals itself - which for a lot of illnesses - it does. I'm glad you found the key to improving your health - but there's a very important principle to remember - You know what they call alternative medicine that's PROVEN to work? - Medicine. [/QUOTE]
