I don't know why we can't think of these things as a spectrum - the alternative stuff and the conventional stuff are not so far removed from one another, its just our mindset (and that of the practitioners) is.
I mean, both alternative stuff and conventional stuff should be both practised and should be both intertwined - clearly the altnerative stuff for prevention and general health and the conventional stuff for 'crisis intervention' like a heart attack. But if we can stop the crisis in the first place, by say, eating garlic, being healthy and taking ginkgo, for example, I don't see why this is so hard to comprehend or preach or practise.
Plus I don't see why alternative compounds in plants should be considered so different from conventional drugs -- I think Big Pharma has a big say in this and the subsequent brain washing of Doctors.
I follow the Lar school on this.
