The reason doctors are so against alternative medicine is because many of these treatments have not been scientifically proven to be effective.

Alternative medicine is based on the idea that there is some sort of "energy" or "vibration" that flows through the body and can be used to heal it. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this idea. In fact, many alternative medicines have been shown to be ineffective or even dangerous. For example, homeopathy has been shown to be no more effective than a placebo, and chiropractic adjustments can cause serious injuries.
