Believe in it if you will, but don't look too much for hard scientific evidence regard- ing their methods, because there isn't any. The reasons, in my opinion, that these practicioners use unfamiliar "medicines" is that they are prohibited by state and federal laws from prescribing the others. There is a branch of conventianal medicine (trained in medical schools) which has a similar philosophy and is called "holistic" medicine. I am sure I will be branded as part of "establishment" medicine which wants to keep true cures from patients. Look at the level and sophistication of training required and make your own decision.
