Are trained doctors who also offer alt med scammers too?

Yes. (Most fraudsters are quite aware of who they are and what they're doing.) And people who fall for homopathic altmed scamquackery are easy marks...

I think a lot of these people aren't doing this to deceive, its to offer a service or because they feel medicine doesn't offer everything their patients need and want to offer more.
I'm not in favour of doctors offering these services. A quick course in _____ principles + a few hundred hours learning techniques doesn't make them an ______. When doctors practice using these techniques they aren't always too successful because they apply these techniques with a medical philosophy.
Its probably far less lucrative than conventional medicine. Most of the practitioners will be GP's. as it goes they already have premises and staff but a practice (whatever it is) has considerable overheads.
Without employing staff they are premises (which can be extortionate), advertising, initial equipment costs, telephone, power, registration, CPD and insurance (whioch is usually very low because our rates of injury are minimal).
Every time I srap up an ankle it cost me around $1 in strapping. There is also paper towels people lie on + other little things which need to be paid for. My clinical kit had to be replaced after my car was broken into in the UK that cost me about US$500.

In my own pactice where i work as a 1 man band, about 30% of my take is operating cost, another 15% of whats left goes on GST. Of whats left of that another 20% goes on tax (which will go up once my turnover increases). I don't get to keep 1/2 of what I take and I don't employ any staff and have cheap premises.
I used to make much more money when i worked in technology. However I love what I do. I really enjoy my job and inspite of it all I still make a decent living. I leave the conventional medicine to the doctors. They can leave the manual therapy to people like me.

You really don't understand how profitable alt med is?

Homeopathy and reiki quite literally nothing. No overhead, all profit. You really can't have a more transparent scam than homeopathy.

good question. Just ignore the trolls who are threatened by the fact that yes, many medical professionals absolutely support alternative medicines. This site attracts a lot of radicals who have extreme views, you know the extreme ones by their silly comments, they wish to divide and pretend that all doctors share their views of hate. They spread hate, just ignore
