Hey guys...I am absolutely in favor of Alternative medicine (and it is my preferred method of practice) but forming a proper argument as to why it is important is essential to making sure it continues to build validity within the scientific community. That's why today's episode is important. I'll be going into the most common reasons why people say they like and don't like alt med and determining whether those arguments are valid or not! Hope you enjoy!
