Complimentary/Alternative Medicine and Integrated Medicine
Discussion
Evening All,
Just wondering what the PH hoardes thought of the above? CAM and IM are becoming huge in Australia, USA, Canada and are already very considerable in many eastern and European countries.
Mrs Bisonhead has left the NHS and gained a diploma in Integrated Medicine (combining the best of western and 'eastern' medicine and other methods or wisdom traditions) and is setting up a private practice.
One thing we have found is that any deviation from the NHS or conventional medicine is met with either hostility or harsh judgement. We have also found that a lot of people we know are interested in an alternative to what is on offer at the moment in the UK.
I am not going to defend myself or my wifes choices, we feel that the we have made a good (not right) choice.
What are your thoughts or experience on CAM or IM practices and what potential do you see in them?

Anything that she finds that works robustly in Level 1 trials, please let us know. The NHS could do with some new treatments
She can skip homeopathy
Disclaimer: 1)lots of treatments make people get better, lots of things get better on their own, the placebo effect means even the act of treating makes some people better
2) It's getting huge, or it's worth $2billion, or it's the fastest growing X in Y do not amount to Level 1 evidence

I presume you will be offering "alternative" ways of treating broken limbs and serious life threatening diseases as well as the usual stock in trade lines of allergies, "intolerances", stress etc etc that this kind of b
ks tends to confine itself to? If you did that then there really would be serious cash to be made

That's because the sort of problems this kind of bks tends to confine itself to? If you did that then there really would be serious cash to be madeks can "treat" are self-limiting issues that clear up on their own anyway. Anything that requires actual medicine and you're out of luck.Gassing Station | Health Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
