E-drug: Summary of Alternative Medicine (cont)
---------------------------------------------
[the last comment, BS]
Just for perspective, summing up some of the latter suggestions in this list:
"There is no alternative medicine. There is only scientifically proven,
evidence-based medicine supported by solid data or unproven medicine.
Whether a therapeutic practice is "Eastern" or Western," is
unconventional or mainstream, or involves mind-body techniques or
molecular genetics is largely irrelevant except for historical
purposes and cultural interest." --
