Often "western" medicine is wrong. It is great when it is open minded, willing to admit mistakes and willing to intelligently experiment. "Alternative" medicine can work and can show improvement in things not thought possible, but following a regimen based on emotion or ideology leads to results based on luck. I am for science, follow what works and test it. Then repeat what tests successful and test it more. Keep an open scientific mind and open eyes and be compassionate to your patients and their families.
We have a friend diagnosed with JRA who had a tragic childhood including a heart attack at age 13 from his JRA meds. He found exercise paradoxically as his solution and then dove into yoga intensely. Look at him now. He is quite famous in the yoga world. He is also a genuinely great guy and a wonderful teacher. https://www.facebook.com/joseph.encinia?ref=ts&fref=ts
