There is no winner in the war between conventional and alternative medicine because the "front line" winds through everyone who faces the question of "to be or not to be". It is not so easy to understand which side you are on.
There are situations in life when a person, as a drowning man, is ready to resort to anything, to the last straw, and there is no shortage of "straw" offers nowadays. Tea, massage, hypnosis, leeches and frogs, prayers and magic words, or a needle mat made by the charismatic healer. Whether these miracle cures really do save, or whether it's a happy coincidence, but maybe just a placebo effect, or even harm, we won't say for now, but one thing is clear: although it is funny it is also very serious.
