Are you going to take the vaccine?

[omcasey]

Alternative medicine is a term often used as opposed to evidence-based medicine.

It does not mean that it does not work, it just means that no one is able to find evidence that it works. That is mostly due to personal testimonials not counting as evidence.

This is too broad of a statement. We can't lump all healing modalities except for allopathic in one big category. Even homeopathy has evidence in the cause-and-effect observations of centuries, and is, in fact, the basic idea of traditional vaccines. This may be anecdotal as you say, but it is evidence nonetheless. You can't get past the idea of anecdotal evidence even in allopathy, which is unable to explain the placebo effect.

Naturopathic doctors are just as educated as allopathic doctors, though the education is oriented differently. Naturopaths are more more educated on nutrition and the person as a whole and how to balance their imbalances. Allopathy is more educated in the management of disease with pharmaceuticals and is great when it comes to trauma (burst appendix; heart attack, etc.). It has its place. When I was in a car accident, I was grateful to know I had no brain injuries from allopathic tests. If I was unwell and couldn't balance it myself, I would see a Naturopath. But that is just what I would do. 

Within these general descriptions, one must find a doctor—if needed—one is comfortable with.

As is stated in the Ra Material, the mind creates the body. So one might see the efficacy in any number of alternative therapies including even massage, breath work, aromatherapy. These things work with the mind as well as the body. Allopathy and Naturopathy can both heal and be helpful in their different ways. And belief matters as well. If you believe in allopathy by all means utilize it. 

Patrick, you made a statement earlier that I love: "As long as it's knowledge of fear and not fear of knowledge." Taking sides may close off information and effect discernment.

One glorious day, we will all REALize we live in a thought based reality.

Thought is what makes all things function.

Naturopathy.
Allopathy.
Everything.
