Download or read book Real Secrets of Alternative Medicine written by Richard Rawlins and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UK patients spend £1.6B per year on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The NHS funds nearly ten per cent of this. Americans spend more than $34 billion a year on CAM. The French spend e279 million for homeopathic remedies alone. Is this wise? Are resources being wasted? Could available funds be better spent on improving conventional care? Are patients being misled? Are funders being defrauded? Patients who turn to CAM (camees), camists who practice camistry, doctors, nurses, conventional healthcare practitioners, politicians, health commissioners, funders and the public all need to consider alternative medicine critically and make wise decisions. Patients must have full information if they are to give meaningful consent to treatment. In Real Secrets of Alternative Medicine Richard Rawlins combines his insights as a magician and member of the Magic Circle with experience as a doctor and specialist surgeon to expose how alternative medicine works - and how to avoid being quacked and defrauded. There is much more that can be done to foster and enhance those age-old qualities of human kindness and compassion.

Download or read book Healing Traditions written by Bonnie Blair O'Connor and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity and practice of alternative medicine continues to expand at astonishing rates. In Healing Traditions, Bonnie Blair O'Connor considers the conflicts that arise between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. Providing in-depth examples of the importance and benefits of alternative health practices—including the extraordinarily extensive and sophisticated HIV/AIDS alternative therapies movement—O'Connor identifies ways to integrate alternative strategies with orthodox medical treatments in order to ensure the best possible care for patients. In spite of the long-standing prediction that, as science and medicine progressed—and education became more generally available—unconventional systems would die out, they have persisted with undiminished vitality. They have, in fact, experienced a reinvigoration and expansion during the last fifteen to twenty years. In the United States, this renewal is fueled by people representing a wide cross-section of American society, and most of them also use conventional medicine. This eclecticism can result in conflicts between the values and assumptions of Western, scientific medicine and those of unconventional health systems. O'Connor demonstrates the importance of understanding how various belief systems interact and how this interaction affects health care. She argues that through neutral observation and thorough description of health belief systems it is possible to gain an understanding of those systems, to identify likely points of conflict among systems—especially conflicts that may occur in conventional care settings—and to intervene in ways that ensure the best possible care for patients.
