It seems to me that these kinds of alternative treatments should not be called forward thinking. IMHO, they are backward thinking and harken back to the days where herbs were thought to cure everything and treatments such as bleeding and blowing tobacco smoke up one's rectum were thought to be helpful.

So many advances have been made in medicine over the past century that have extend human life and eased pain and suffering I don't know why people would turn their backs on them.
