First thing: Being a doctor has nothing to do with alternative medicine!

Doctors go to medical school, have to have a certain level of human biology and chemistry knowledge before they do and even then are closely supervised by other doctors before being granted a license to practise medicine when they finish training. If they make mistakes their license is taken away and they cannot practise any longer.

‘Alternative Medicine’ requires little or no knowledge and despite a few colleges and schools saying they offer training in it, they are just a way of taking money off you and leaving you with a ‘qualification’ which is worthless. Anyone can say they are an alternative medicine ‘doctor’! You can print yourself a certificate from the net, there is no one to supervise or regulate you and no one to ensure you behave properly.

Obviously doctors are in demand and the pay is good, whereas alt med rarely advertises anywhere and you have to rely on self-employment as no reputable organisation would offer you a job.

Alt med has little if any value to society as nearly all of its practices have been shown not to work compared to modern medicine. There are plenty of reputable colleges out there that provide training in real medical subjects and there are many careers you could follow if you don’t want to be a doctor. Alt med (and the colleges that will take your money) have basically been disproven and it really would be a mistake to waste years of your life and good money studying something that may well be banned completely in a few years (as it is in some areas of the US).

Remember: if it works, it’s medicine. If it doesn’t work, then it’s an alternative to medicine.

Best of luck for the future.

Good luck finding a reputable school that offers something in alternative medicine. Why not go for a career that is based in science and can help people in a real way? Doesn’t have to be a doctor. You can be a nurse, a paramedic, a physical therapist, a clinical psychologist, pharmacist, or a LICENSED dietician. Stay away from alternative medicine, it just doesn’t work.
