Discussion: To what extent are chronic IBD patients willing to try alternative therapies (medicine for self-healing)?

Patients with chronic diseases first turn to conventional medicine; having not found a satisfactory solution, they seek alternative therapies in self-healing medicine. The tremendous growth in alternative therapies stems from the inadequate modern medicine in treating chronic diseases, including Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, and IBS. Patients tend not to seek alternative treatments in life-threatening conditions, but only when they have no choice! (Like me.) There is social and environmental pressure on the attending doctors. I call this phenomenon the fear effect.
