Court forcing 16 yr old with cancer into chemo

I have heard that 80% of traditional prescription medicines do not have the desired effect in 80% of the people. Either the side effects are worse than what is being solved, or they are not effective, or they lose potency for an individual over time.

I mentioned my venturing into alternative therapies for my disease. Well, I also tried many conventional therapies and medications that were completely ineffective as well. I won't go into everything I was given to take or the types of procedures I submitted to, but nothing had the desired effect for more than a couple of days.

Medicine is an inexact science. For that reason, I hesitate to say that alternative or conventional treatments are or are not effective. Trial and error is often necessary.
