1. A strong immunity is the key to health! Spontaneous remission of a cancer is a natural cure without side effects. Seventy-five percent of babies born of AIDS mothers are HIV negative. Most everyone is exposed to the flu virus in an epidemic, yet only those with a weak immunity get sick. Even the most deadly hemorrhagic fever viruses, the Ebola, is not 100% fatal.
2. The weakness of most alternative therapies is the inability to alleviate severe pain and other symptoms. For an agitated or depressed patient, meditation, biofeedback, and similar modalities are useless.
3. Exercise can be harmful for patients with severe pain, angina, and chronic fatigue. The increased cardiovascular demand of exercise can aggravate their conditions. The underlying circulatory insufficiency should be corrected prior to exercise.
4. The energy aspect of food and natural remedies, i.e. hot/cold, acid/base, yin/yang properties, are not understood by most alternative practitioners. For example, garlic and ginger are chemically hot and will add heat to the body. Using garlic for a patient suffering from post-menopausal hot flashes is like adding heat to a building which is already 100°.  The same can be said about using a cold herb, such as aloe vera or American ginseng, for a cold patient.
5. BALANCE IS THE KEY. A supplement with many warm tonics is not good.
6. Vitamin formulas and naturally derived food components or hormones are synthetic partial foods. Prolonged use ruins the body’s balance.
7. INAPPROPRIATE USE OF ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES CAN BE HARMFUL.
8. Common mind-body therapies:

Many cultures which enjoy great health and longevity do not take vitamins or hormones.
