I'm a professor and freelance journalist commissioned to write an article for a major magazine about the debate over alternative/integrative/complementary medicine. There are many people with stories about how alternative medicine has been helpful in the treatment of ALS. Less common are stories of negative experiences: lost money, false hope, ineffective treatments, etc. Part of the problem is that people who have negative experiences are generally far less likely to talk about them--they want to forget the pain, or they don't want to revisit feeling foolish.
I believe it is important to make sure people understand that alternative medicine, like "conventional" medicine, can also go wrong. If there is anyone out there who has had a negative experience and is willing to share it with me, please contact me at [email protected] . I am very willing to preserve anonymity, and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Thank you so much for your time and consideration, and if you don't want to contact me directly or can't speak directly to the issue, please do post your thoughts on this board.
