Just what are we defining as "Alternative" here?

To a point I agree..bravo for the machine but
1.we are dealing with people and they are NOT machines... which in lies the problem.
2. Not all the "remedies are effective" and just as bad as the 'Snake oil Salesman' you poo poo
I remember my grandmother who had multiple health issues going to the doctors as though she was visiting friends..it was a social outing for her and i could not believe my ears when she would tell me about it! She had to try this and then that and then something else...essentially she was just a lonely attention seeking selfish person with some hormonal issues..nothing more. But hey the pharmaceutical companies made a fortune out of her.
No Medical science is THE LAST STOP BEFORE YOU DIE type medicine. And many who do not make it die from the pharmaceuticals administered from such practitioners. With Cancer you die from opiate overdose the cancer will kill you but it takes longer and the overdose is the "euthanasia" that is not practiced by medical mainstream
So WTF is going on here??
No... when you are ill you WANT MUMMY! You WANT that touch that says it will be OK..You WANT that personal interaction from someone who has spent some time UNDERSTANDING HOW THE BODY WORKS because you are ill and not talking to your body at that point in time.
This is my understanding.
