“I've heard many people describing it as BS, but they also heard of it as a miracle cure.“

This may actually be true. For some people it works and for others it doesn’t. I think western medicine’s main mistake is to come up with things that work for as many people as possible. But we are very different and may need different things to be healthy.

It's more cost effective if things work for everyone, but it's not like we reject things because they are not generic enough. See how many different statins you can be on for example if one doesn't work for you. If RNA testing was cheaper we could skip the guessing part (for statins) though and know which one to start with. Same with different techniques in psychology.

I don't think any serious professional disagrees with different needs.
