DESCRIPTION:Alternative medicine can be described as practices that are\nav
 ailable to the public but which are not taught in conventional\nmedical sc
 hools. The focus there lies on evidence-based methods and\ncontrolled expe
 riments. Lack of evidence does not mean that a\nparticular treatment canno
 t work\; there may be alternative methods\nand practices worth pursuing. A
 lternative treatments can range from\nacupuncture to reflexology\, and its
  practitioners range from energy\nhealers to magnet therapists. Although r
 isks tend to be low\, there\nis always the danger of patients being seduce
 d by unsubstantiated\nclaims\, possibly to the extent of forgoing evidence
 -based\ntreatments.\nIrrespective of one’s views on alternative medicine\,
  there is no\ndoubt that the subject merits attention and scrutiny.\nDr. E
 dzard Ernst is a former homeopathic\npractitioner who has become a vocal c
 ritic of alternative medical\ntechniques that are not supported by scienti
 fic evidence.\n
