How come health insurance pays for stuff like acupuncture and naturopathy? I suspect it is to get patients with chronic nonfatal mild conditions onto cheaper regimens that may not actually work but do no harm and cost less than mainstream stuff.

Only a few woke ones pay for it. Not all I believe. Contested territory in terms of evidence... Even if unprovable, Psychosomatic / placebo effects are non-trivial.

The mainstream stuff is a mix of known to work (antibiotics, vaccines etc) and stuff that’s unclear/still being figured out (statins). Stuff that’s known to NOT work does get weeded out though it takes time.

My naturopath is for making me healthier. (What would cleaner eating look like for me? Do I need to address nutrient imbalance etc?) My doctor is for skateboard injuries.
