Alternative therapies

I think this topic hasn't been discussed here yet.

What do you think of alternative medicine? I'm talking about reiki, acupuncture, ayurveda, homeopathy and all those things. Would you use them in real life? And what about using them in a play exam?

I would never use them in real life, as none of them, as far as I know, has proven to be more effective than a placebo. Moreover, the grounds of some of them simply make me laugh. I'm not sure about a play exam. I have never tried them and I don't know if that would get me aroused by the fact of getting touched and being the centre of attention, or otherwise it would be a turn off because I don't believe in anything of that.

As a retired practitioner, I take exception to your contention that alternative therapies have no efficacy. In the US, there is an organized movement to discredit alternative medicine spearheaded by the AMA, big pharma and supported by the FDA.

As far as play goes, many therapies have limited kink factor. Of course YMMV.
