Which treatment should I receive ?
Obviously alternative treatments based on prevention and improvement of general well being is not suitable to serious structure damage such as a broken arm, loss of limb etc.
It is also appropriate to consider how advanced and severe the illness has become eg Alternative treatments will not address directly advance stages of cancer, irreparable damage to an organ, an very advanced infection etc. In such case Western medicines are most effective, that said alternative healing have a complimentary role, helping recover and in the worst cases helping the patient to address the associated emotions and relationships.
