I have no idea where you get the idea that it is not mentioned for conventional medical therapy. I have seen it mentioned several times. But for conventional therapy, we are talking about antibiotics, and the place it will be mentioned will be with literature and courses for doctors, not the patient who it is assumed is a total idiot, since you cannot get antibiotics without a doctor's prescription.
However, since alternative therapies are not supervised or approved by a doctor normally, this information must be supplied to the patient, who if they are using alternative therapies is assumed to be rather smart and can understand this. It is not unusual for a person to be killed in a hospital by antibiotics from Herx, if a person is near death, it can be a fine line between giving insufficient antibiotics to kill off the infection, and killing the patient from the Herx.
