| | Alternative medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Advocates of alternative medicine hold that the various alternative treatment methods are effective in treating a wide range of major and minor medical conditions, and contend that recently published research (such as Michalsen 2003, Gonsalkorale 2003, and Berga 2003) proves the effectiveness of specific alternative treatments. | | | Although advocates of alternative medicine acknowledge that the placebo effect may play a role in the benefits that some receive from alternative therapies, they point out that this does not diminish their validity. | | | Advocates of alternative medicine hold that alternative medicine may provide health benefits through patient empowerment, by offering more choices to the public, including treatments that are simply not available in conventional medicine. |

| | Alternative Medicine |
| | Alternative medicine differs from traditional Western medicine in several important ways: there have been few rigorous studies of the effectiveness and side effects of alternative medicine. | | | Alternative medicine describes health products, practices, and approaches that are not part of conventional medicine. | | | But in the same way that an alternative band can be outside the establishment one year and part of the mainstream the next, the list of once alternative healing practices accepted by conventional medicine changes frequently, as new therapies and treatments are found to be effective. |

| | Alternative" practitioners are often "holistic," claiming to treat the mind, body and soul of the patient. | | | The most popular "alternative" therapies are relaxation techniques, chiropractic, herbal medicine and massage. | | | Because truly "alternative" medical practices would be ones that are known to be equally or nearly equally effective, most "alternative" medical practices are not truly "alternative," but quackery. |

| | Although alternative medicine includes practices that Western science can't explain and doesn't accept, patients are voting with their feet. | | | Welcome to the 90s, folks, and an alphabet soup of remedies -- ranging from ayurvedic medicine and chiropractic to relaxation techniques and self-prayer. | | | But the JAMA reports were the latest and most convincing evidence that conventional medicine, whether motivated by competition or a desire to heal, is starting to embrace -- or at least test -- alternative therapies. |

| | Alternative therapies can affect medical care, by delaying or interacting with prescribed treatments and by introducing new personnel and belief systems not typically a part of the doctor-patient relationship. | | | Nevertheless, this evidence of ineffectiveness is blithely ignored by proponents of "alternative" therapies. | | | If we believe the alternative medicine skeptics, it is the $13.7 billion alternative medical industry, together with the political correctness and antiscience sentiments of the 1990s, that are driving the U.S. government and mainstream American medicine to embrace, if not respect, these health care practices. |

Their armamentarium of treatment modalities are age-old folkloric with adopted ingredients of western medicine. |

| | Would-be consumers searching books on “alternative medicine” for beliefs common to all naturopaths, or the empirical research that informs their practices, will be surprised to find how few authors, pro or con, could find sufficient material to justify a chapter of its own for this popular healing art. | | | The most eclectic of the “alternative” healers, naturopaths readily change their modus operandi in response to changing fads in popular pseudoscience. | | | Since both naturopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teach that “balancing” this mystical force in one’s body is the way to health, it was only to be expected that, as TCM gained popularity in North America and Europe, naturopaths would also climb aboard this bandwagon, as they had so many others in the past. |
