Alternative methods of treatment were once thought of as the poor cousins of Western medicine. But as the effectiveness of these methods has been better documented, they have found acceptance among the medical elite and are now recognized as viable options for patients. In Alternative Medicine: Is It a Prescription for You?, these options, including Indian and Chinese medicine, herbalism, naturopathy, massage, and homeopathy, are discussed. The tape explains that it is no longer unusual for a Western doctor to allow patients to integrate alternative therapy into their Western treatment. ~ Alice Day, Rovi
