Sure, the world is full of "alternative" groupies. Really the idea is they supposedly hold philosophy/beliefs different to the mainstream or else their social inepts (I insult myself as well here). I tend to be more interested in "alternatives" and believe themselves closer to the truth though not always perfect. Indeed, there probably is no perfect truth in this world wrought by humans. As it should be. We only see the world through our own lens.
Sure, alternative therapies are closer to the truth of health and staying that way. Not always perfect though.
