Myriad is a synonym for many. So you actually can just say "myriad factors" instead of "a myriad of other factors."
Anyway, this is the grey area that alternative practitioners love to drag you into - the area of unknowns or supplemental approaches.
I get this all the time from my crazy in-laws: "work on your diet," "get proper sleeps," "train your mind."
Yes, of course all of those things are important, but alone, they can't come close to dealing with a lot of serious things. A doctor will tell you all of those things, plus something along the lines of "well, there is a treatment we have available with well-documented success rates in laboratory settings. I have also experienced first-hand the clinical benefits."
