Is Conventional medicine so bad and helpless so that we eager to turn to the unknown and maybe even dangerous, to receive it as a cure from all our illnesses?
Reasons are clear. Just think about:
 a) Have you ever feel the fear of surgery and of the side effects of drugs? Many people have been alienated from conventional medicine. Alternative health care has become attractive because its treatments are considered to be less risky and less likely to cause direct harm.
b) Conventional medicine in a number of difficult cases can’t find the cause of an illness or to relieve pain. Sometimes it happens in Alternative health care as well. But conventional practitioners won’t support and express hopefulness when their medicine fails. The encouragement of "Alternative" practitioners often helps their patients to be hopeful, won’t despair even when the situation is hopeless.
c) Successful treatment isn’t always guaranteed by the conventional practitioners.
d) Natural remedies are often used in Alternative health care. That’s the reason of people’s belief in it. Natural is always considered to be much safer and proper.
e) Conventional health care is more expensive than Alternative one. It’s become obvious and attracted "Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and insurance companies. They understood that it’s cheaper for them to propose Alternative Health care and its treatment. We could say so many other beneficial things about Alternative health care, but the main point stays as it is - people believe, that it really works, they search for help and find it, they become, as they think, stronger, healthier, more vital, having received the alternative treatment.
