Alternative Health Safety

There are many types of alternative health practices, but not all of them may be safe.  Most standard forms of alternative medicine are safe, but there are a couple of very important points to keep in mind.

1. Always visit licensed or highly-trained practitioners.
2. Don’t avoid other types of treatment.

While alternative medicine can work, it is important not to neglect other healing methods from traditional method.  The comedian Andy Kaufman sought alternative treatment for a rare form of lung cancer.  He switched to a fruit and vegetable diet and tried a procedure called “psychic surgery”, but despite his best efforts the cancer metastasized and killed him just about 5 months after he was diagnosed.

While Kaufman did have palliative radiotherapy, he did not seek other types of medical treatment.  He believed his alternative methods would cure him, but the treatments came too late.

In fact, “psychic surgery” is a hoax.  It is one form of alternative medicine that has been positively proven to be false.  Practitioners claim they can plunge their hands into the patient’s body, remove problem tissue or foreign objects with their hands, and then magically close the wound with no scars or sutures.

In reality the practitioner simply uses sleight of hand to squeeze animal blood around the area, and they appear to be removing things from the body that are in fact animal tissue and clotted blood.

This is one example of why you should be especially careful with regards to alternative medicine.  While some forms of alternative medicine are valid and helpful, others are simply hoaxes and fraud.

Always research methods carefully, and work with a medical professional to decide the best course of treatment for you.  Your health is worth pursuing every possible treatment method, both in traditional medicine and alternative.
