I think alongside modern medicine, complementary medicine can be useful. But people are kidding themselves if they think it can suddenly cure stuff it hasn't been able to cure for thousands of years. I understand this woman may be worried about the effects of the treatment on her son, but if the alternative is death, I'd be going for the treatments.
