One thing I think main stream medicine should do is perscibe more placebo's.
A lot of Naturopaths / alternative medicines work percisely because of the placebo effect. Science has proven that the placebo effect is very powerful yet main stream medicine seems to have an issue with perscribing sugar pills as a cure.
A Doctor will tell you they don't have a treatment for you or don't know the cause and just deal with it or recomend somethings to help diagnose it. This makes peoples problems worse as they go to the internet and diagnose themselves and make their symtoms worse. Then they go to a naturopath and are told they have XXX and take this and you will feel better. Placebo effect kicks in and the person believes they have been cured and that naturopathy works.
I am however a big Chiro fan. They do a good job at relieving immediate pain. However their are far to many quacks in the chiro field it makes finding a good one difficult.
