Currently there is a trend towards the use of alternative forms of medicine. However, at best these methods are ineffective, and at worst they may be dangerous. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Alternative

forms of medicine are gradually gaining popularity. Many believe that these types of treatments are not only useless, but

hazardous to the patients.

Although

there are strong arguments on both sides, I strongly believe that these other types of therapeutic options have questionable

forms of treatment.
