Hmm..... but are they really bogus?
Are Drs referring people to some of the alternative therapies for the wrong reasons? I know that some of the emotional support that you can get from alternative therapists is probably exactly what some people need. they need the lift of someone listening to them and then providing a treatment that can take the edge off a problem.
I know that when we saw a homeopath for our son's ezcema and constant congestion, it worked wonders. I felt better because someone listened and believed there was a problem (this was apparent to anyone, but Drs would just prescribe more antibiotics) and within minutes of taking the remedies he'd be coughing away, getting rid of some of the nasties in him (and for a 1 year old you can't say it is all in the mind!!!). Unfortunately we had to stop going due to cost, but if we could have been referred on the NHS I'd still be going....

Therapies like that canwork as a placebo effect...because you pay money and do all those things, your brain makes the illusion that you are getting better, thats why fake therapies actually work...
