The HN title about "'alternative' approaches" strikes me as taylor-made to get HN downvotes. It also makes a statement that is far more general -- and less well supported -- than what the article is actually saying. In fact, this is a rather interesting article about focusing on prevention and lifestyle changes over treatment/cure after a disease has already started. The U.S. health-care system is strongly oriented toward the latter, while there is plenty of scientific evidence to support the idea that, for many conditions, the former is usually much more successful -- or so the writer says.
