Are you a doctor?

I hear stories of people using alternative “medicine” and eschewing (normal|western)? medicine, so I think you are incorrect. Anecdotally I personally know of one person who used indigenous herbs to treat their cancer (I don’t know the outcome of that).

I’d guess most of people that need this treatment are very happy to overlook the name or even reality of what it is. If it leads to better health than they’re able to sustain right now, then yeah by all means.
