People want options for their health concerns. While they need adequate education about alternative, complementary, and integrative healthcare to make informed decisions, they should also be aware of traditional medicine's risks, failings, and hypocrisy.
Fascinating. Thank you for the well balanced comparative review of traditional and alternative medicine. I try to follow an iterative healthcare path. In my stage 4 cancer journey over the last 3.4 years I've discovered the complementary approach works well for me. My cancer team includes; traditional oncologist (team captain), traditional oncology nutritionist, oncology nurse, and oncology based palliative psychologist. Non traditional acupuncturist, MSW oncologist counselor, and the star of the team a Exercise Psychologist. From my perspective both team complement each other measure by my degree/feelings of wellness.
