Alternative medicine & Mexico & regulation, an age old art!

It’s not possible for everybody to practice alternative medicine in Mexico.

Alternative medicines are becoming increasingly popular. Yet their effectiveness is yet to be proven to the majority of medical practitioners and there are concerns over safety as many of the treatments remain untested.

Not all practitioners agree on what constitutes alternative medicine, some deny there is anything "alternative" about practices that negate many modern treatments.

A combination of reduced faith in conventional treatments and the growth in availability of alternative remedies has led to the rise in people turning to alternative medicine. Information and products on these medicines may be available in a Mexican Pharmacy.

In many cases, the disillusion in established modern western medicine has been due to its impotence in the face of diseases such as AIDs and cancer. People with such conditions turn to alternative medicines out of desperation and also because of the strength of evidence that these therapies are effective.
