[QUOTE="SRL, post: 64680, member: 701"] I have a friend with a chronic illness that hasn't responded well to traditional medical treatments and as she's pursued the natural treatments route I've been astonished at how largely unregulated the area is. I have tried to keep an open mind given that the traditional medical route has given her little help but some of what I've heard has quite frankly scared me. She's had what in my opinion amount to diagnostics and medical treatments from practioners who don't have medical backgrounds. (ie diagnosing virtually any medical condition from bacterial/virtually infection, heavy metals, thyroid conditions and endometriosis totally through means such as handwriting analysis?) She's also purchased some products that were questionable--most recently some very pricey herbal capsules packaged in a regular Ziploc bag with all packaging in a foreign language. My friend a good head on her shoulders and does her research and usually involves her regular doctor to monitor blood levels, etc. but it wouldn't happen if she didn't take the initiative. She's also seen a lot of people out there "diagnosing" who are pushing their products as the cure. I don't want to bash chelation or any natural treatments when used wisely but it seems like this area has just exploded in recent years, leaving a lot of room for bad practices. [/QUOTE]
