I can relate, it's the same in the States, and for the same inane and counterproductive reasons.
More to the point, American medical schools are almost exclusively funded by Big Pharma, and were actually set up by them back in the day, and they have consistently painted all alternative (read: natural and non-petroleum based) medicines and remedies as suspect, unscientific, and just plain bad medicine.
And, in spite of reams of excellent clinical data proving otherwise, that is still the stance of most doctors and insurers.
