Indeed, western medicine can be risky. But alternative medicines are not usually backed by any kind of science. Which is not to say that science does not study nature and plants in relation to human health. Aspirin was discovered in the bark of a type of tree.

But with such concrete science backing western medicine and next to no science behind alternative medicine, why should I believe it’s effective?

Please, if any of you know about it, tell me. I’m afraid of having my cat treated with conventional medications for hyperthyroidism, she’s 13 and never been sick before. I wonder if acupunture works, or homeopathy in cases like this. Please, share your experiences if any.
My cat has an appointment tomorrow with a regular vet, and I feel aprehensive, he’ll give her traditional medications. Thanks for help

I have horrible migraines. I have taken every type of presription medicine possible- none have worked. Usually when I get a headache, we resort to using steroids (which I hate). Is there any way I can use alternative medicine to help prevent or ease the pain of a migraine?
