I agree with you in some respects, although everything you stated about alternatives can also be exteded to conventional meds.
The safety of conventional meds is always very uncertain, and many times the dangers of them are found out after the dammage has been done.
When I was in the mental hospital, there were 4 different individuals who had grand-mals with wellbutrin.
No, not all alternatives work for everybody, but neither to all conventional meds.
I have tried a lot a lot of alternatives, but then again, I've tried a lot of conventionals.
With conventional meds, effexor, prozac, tegretol, and risperdal, were all toxic.To be honest, I've tried over 35 different conventional psychotropics, and can say that maybe only 2-3 actually made me feel any better.
On the alternative side, SJW was not good for me.Taurine, fish oil, magnesium, folic acid, and vitamin C, have helped.
So I am not trying to offend you, I'm just saying that everything you said about the natural stuff could be extened to the conventional.You can get badly hurt with the conventional just like you can with the alternatives.
