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. P
 aul Offit is one of the most public\nfigures speaking out against the alle
 ged relationship between\nvaccines and autism. Dr. Harriet Hall is a\nreti
 red family physician who writes about pseudoscience and\nquestionable medi
 cal practices. Dr. Robert (Bob)\nPark is an Emeritus Professor of physics 
 at the University\nof Maryland\, College Park who has written pseudoscienc
 e\,\nalternative medicine\, and the creation/evolution debate.\n
