Modern medicine versus Holistic Therapies.

In todays 21st century, more and more people are becoming more aware of Holistic therapies and began to accept holistic therapies as either alternative or compliment to modern medicine but giant pharmaceutical companies are coming out to challenge the feasibilities of such therapies. Doctors too shun these forms of therapies calling these therapies as placebo effects or just quack therapies. I would like to get the feed back from anyone who wish to comment on what I have written. Do you agree or disagree with the statement and why?
