Drawbacks Of Alternative Treatment: They Cut Into Profits

Because these treatments are natural, most cannot be patented. If they cannot be patented, multinational pharmaceutical firms cannot make a large profit on them; in fact, these remedies will cut into the profits from the patent medicines they compete with.

Therefore the drug companies, and the government agencies they influence, do their best to suppress knowledge and availability of these products. You may have to expend some effort to obtain them, and often insurance will not cover the cost..

In addition, conventional medical practitioners and family members may do their best to dissuade you from departing from the beaten path. You will have to do research yourself, and take more initiative than if you left the entire matter in the hands of the cancer specialists at your local hospital.

It can also be difficult to evaluate the success rate of these methods. Because of the lack of potential profits, expensive, large double-blind prospective patient studies, often funded by drug companies (or by government agencies on their behalf) are less likely to have been done, so often patients are left with only word of mouth, or at best animal or in vitro studies by small teams of independent researchers.

In order for these treatments to be successful, long term lifestyle changes must be undertaken, even after the initial treatment. Going back to being a couch potato after treatment is completed will increase chances of tumor recurrence. Many people find such measures difficult to maintain.
