None: Im sure they will sell you some tree root venom but stick with modern, proven medicine to actually treat diseases.

None: If real cardiovascular disease is present, it must be evaluated and treated by a cardiac doctor or at least a family doctor. These conditions cannot betreated by naturopaths- don't waste your time and money and don't allow your condition to worsen without proper care.

Proven vs unproven: By definition, "alternative" is different than modern western medicine. Generally any drug, herb, treatment, or procedure that stands up to rigorous scientific scrutiny is included in modern medicine. The problem is that many alternative practices, herbs etc do not stand up to scientific scrutiny and cannot be shown to work. They therefore remain "alternative". Be careful and watch your wallet.
