If Your Doctor Talks About Holistic or Quantum Mechanics Look For Another

If the doctor uses words such as holistic, vital energy, quantum mechanics, homeopathy, oriental wisdom or "the disease is a reaction of your body to a conflict not overcome", better change doctor.

Some doctors recommend homeopathic products, what is its effectiveness?

It seems to be an aberration that 200 years later follow the teachings of a German gentleman without having been able to provide a single proof of its effectiveness. Some true Holistic Doctors Near Me, not all, advise it; but if a doctor recommends homeopathy he is no longer acting as a doctor, but as a believer, and is forgetting his own deontological code that says he only has to offer treatments backed by scientific evidence. Homeopathy can be harmful if you have a serious problem and instead of following an effective treatment you take sugar pills without any active compound (this is homeopathy). We must also bear in mind that there are some preparations that, taking advantage of the fact that there is a legal limbo, are sold as homeopathic but have real quantities of some active ingredient, so they can be toxic. In the United States, there was a problem with a nasal homeopathic syrup because of the zinc it contained.

But you are a qualified homeopath.

Yes, I'm a homeopath. The company Boiron, one of the multinationals of homeopathy, does online courses and then gives you very nice titles where it says that you have training in Acupuncture Philadelphia.

Many patients who turn to alternative medicines find themselves better

Placebos, which are imaginary medicines, are only effective with imaginary diseases. If you give a placebo for a real illness you will not get anything, and if above you pretend to believe that it is a real medicine and you charge it very expensive, as it usually happens, you are cheating a desperate person. Finding yourself better does not necessarily mean being better. A very clear example is doctors (or not) who say they can cure cancer and convince the patient to stop chemotherapy. Being a very aggressive treatment the first weeks are better, but then fall inexorably. There are hundreds of victims of these practices and the guilty go unpunished.

We all know people who have quit smoking or relieved lumbago thanks to acupuncture. Is this also a fantasy?

 The effectiveness of Hypnosis Philadelphia to stop smoking is that it is just an excuse (very expensive, by the way) for you to metalize. Regarding low back pain, there are studies that see an efficacy slightly higher than placebo, but not because of what the acupuncturists of the channels and meridians say, but because the needles (whether they are inserted at random or by an acupuncturist) mislead the nervous system and cause adenosine to be released that has some analgesic value
