    1) Medicine, if taken carelessly, can kill a person! This came to the light because the one died was a wife of Union Minister, who was an under-Secretary in UN before. This can happen, because it was over-dosage. OK (here is the link: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Drug-overdose-cause-of-Sunanda-Pushkars-death-AIIMS-autopsy-report/articleshow/29118949.cms)

    2) Have you heard of former president Clinton’s misery? His mistake was that He trusted high-profile doctors and underwent many bypass surgeries, but all in vain. However, when he tried 'China Study Diet' or 'Whole Food Plant Based Diet (WFPB)' and decided to follow the diet for six months even though not very strictly, within six months his clogged arteries cleaned up, calcium deposits washed away, stent got removed, weight reduced to normal and he became an active energetic and charismatic man as he was while he was the president of USA.

    3) In India the total number of patients dying of angiography on the diagnosis table every year equals to the total number of people killed in all the terrorist attacks put together from 1987 to 2013! An impartial study would reveal that more often patients die of the complications of the surgery and the long term side effects of the medication involved, rather than by the disease itself!

    So there are risks with medicines! What is your point?

    Yes, cantleave, that is what I wanted to highlight. Before going for any major treatment, get maximum opinions on the subject--including on alternative medicine, as happened in the case of Clinton.

    To my own fleshly sister, doctors suggested heart-operation to replace a narrowed valve. She did not bother to do it. However, her friend doctor said: If its from the birth, body will take care of it. You only need to be careful not to aggravate it by your diet and life-style. She did that, and it is now more than 25 years--she has no problem.

    Everywhere GREED rules!

    Alternative "medicine" often shows no proven efficacy. "Treatments" like homeopathy are simply wooo and potentially far more dangerous than proven treatments.

    I would rather take the risks of scientifically developed and proven medicines than undertake spurious treatments with no clinical underpinning thank you very much.

    I'm not convinced that a good diet falls into the alternative medicine category.

    Prevention is BETTER than main-stream and alternative medicine!

    AGREED!

    However, not everything is preventable.
