My dad showed me a picture of his buddy the alternative health practitioner. When he suffered a stroke some years back, his wife the intuitive distance healer didn't call an ambulance. She called an osteopath. So the poor old man didn't get the swift treatment that saves many stroke patients from severe disablement nowadays. Alternative medicine may not mostly be damaging in itself, but it costs money and it keeps people from getting evidence-based care.
