If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: All these "alternative" things are alternative because they're unproven. No evidence. Often, evidence to the contrary. And some of them can be harmful.

For the most part, the ones that are beneficial are the ones that tend to be beneficial for anyone who tries them--things like yoga, or eating less highly-processed food, or fixing vitamin deficiencies.

If you are going to try something "alternative", then you have to remember that these things are medical treatments, too--experimental, possibly dangerous medical treatments; probably having no benefit; almost certainly causing side effects. They're not mainstream, because if they were shown to work, then the mainstream would have adopted them long ago!

There are some things that are quite safe to try, and will only waste money if they don't help. Those things, I can see trying. But I spent my childhood on the alternative-medicine merry-go-round, I'm still autistic, and the only things that were beneficial are the things that any sensible doctor would recommend anyway: Good food, enjoyable physical activity, and a calm, orderly environment.
