Why Alternative Treatments Fail (or why we THINK they do?)

article image placeholderUploaded by @MedicalSecrets
So, for example, the Acupuncture trial, what needs to be done is looking at acupuncture plus lifestyle modifications, such as greater activity plus certain herbal treatments, plus mind body therapy. Now you have a package that is designed to treat depression, for example, or high blood pressure or diabetes or fill in the blank. But the problem is that we don't wrap our minds in Western medicine around a multimodal approach

Alternative treatment trials fail because we don't know how to study them in Western medicine, not necessarily because they don't work!
