Question:
Can you treat PTSD with alternative medicine?

I have a friend who seems to have all the symptoms associated with PTSD (She was severely abused as a child and went through several abusive relationships over a period of decades). She is now in a position where she cannot afford traditional medical treatment and would like a homeopathic or herbal approach to the disorder. She cannot even afford insurance that most likely would not cover such treatment. Has anyone used alternative medicine to treat it?

Answer: Let me know when you know. Personally, I have no use for conventional medicine which has turned out to be a rip-off. There is nothing more offputting when the answer anyone gives you to any health ailment is "See a doctor", like it was the most easy thing to do, when it is not. In this day and age in the United States, seeing a doctor is a LUXURY millions of people cannot afford.

Laws need to be changed in order for everyone to have access to health care. "Where is the money going to come from?" should be the LAST question asked and not the first, because a person's life should be worth more than money could ever buy.

Other countries in the world have access to free (or reduced price) health care. Why shouldn't we? Why is it that the wealthiest country in the world cannot afford to take care of its citizens? Every American who approves of the the health care status quo should be ashamed of him/herself. Such is either evil, or extremely submoronic.
