I would suggest to you, "let food be thy medicine, but not thy ONLY medicine". I don't like the term "alternative treatments" either because it means "instead of". I prefer the term "adjunctive treatment" because it means "joining with". So why not consider good nutrition and mental health in combination with scientifically sound and proven medical treatment? I don't think anyone here is trying to convert you. We are only trying to save your life.
