are tehre people here who still believe in quack doctors and other ways of healing apart from the modern way?

Answer 1

I believe that we have the finest emergency medicine doctors in the world but, when it comes to dealing with chronic conditions, we fall far short.
It's not the medical community that is to blame as they only need 1 class of nutrition in their years of schooling. The pharaceutical industry is to blame to a degree as they are not trying to create cures for disease but only fix symptoms. Create the cure and you go out of business along with the institute supporting it (Diabetes Assoc., Cancer Institute, Lung Assoc.).
There is a U.S. law in fact that states the benefits of certain nutrients preventing cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis, 2 of the 3 leading killers! This law was created due to the 20,000+ studies proving it.
We are bombarded with bad stuff every day in the air we breath, the water we drink and shower in and the chemicals in our homes.
My family has been helped tremendously by turning our home into a wellness home.

Answer 2

Most ,I guess still follow the old way of taking pills,etc. But there are an increasing number of people choosing the modern multi-disciplinary approach ,where instead of trying to cure every thing with drugs and knives, different techniques are used where they are most effective.
For instance, a skeletal problem might indicate an osteopath . A life threatening infection might suggest antibiotics, but it will tend to recurr unless a deeper healing occurs, prehaps through a big life change, specific medicines such as garlic, and/or a whole system tuning such as acupuncture.
Quacks used to sell potions to cure everything. So I guess anyone who claims a monopoly on healing for their expertise (or lack of it ),could be considered a quack.

Answer 3

Your bias is obvious from the question. Not all alternative therapies are scams...just like not all healing "the modern way" (whatever that really means) will heal you. Patients really need to be "health consumers." Just like you would do when shopping for a car (or anything else), learn about the pros and cons of ALL therapy options. Then make your choice(s). Why must the choice be just ONE option? You can use an allopathic doctor (that's the modern-type BTW) AND use alternative therapies as long as you have determined there are no negative interactions.

Answer 4

What is the percentage of cure in modern way? Not more than 30%. In case of Non infectious diseases 95% diseases can be treated without medicine, but doctors never tell this truth otherwise they will starve.
If there are plenty of good doctors available in villages also then why to believe in quack?

Answer 5

Well ashtray not all alternative medicine followers are "quack doctors" there are plenty of those in "modern medicine" thank you very much. But since you asked there are less harmful side effects from the more natural remedies than in what you take from your "modern doctor" who gets kickbacks for prescribing the poision you put in your body. Go ahead and blindly follow what he tells you to do though, since you tend to be narrow minded and use blind faith in "modern" technology that is still in the testing stage for the most part. I will be here long after you expire.

Answer 6

I don't know about quack healing but I do work with a guy whose sister has cancer and was not expected to live and went to the Dominican Republic for treatment and is now in total remission.

Answer 7

Yes...but all doctors are quacks. They just delay the inevitable.

Answer 8

You tell me a doctor who isn't a quack? Willys cynical thought for the day;

I asked my dr. for a prescription. She told me, I'm sorry you have to see a neurologist for that. I told her, "Gimme a break doc it ain't like I'm asking a plumber to freaking circumcise me!"
