In the Frontier
In the Frontier
By: Dr. Alejandro Carballo
In the western world, there are two healthcare systems: the official, evidence-based healthcare system; and traditional, complementary, or alternative treatment methods, such as yoga, acupuncture, natural remedies, and healing. The trend nowadays is that more and more people are relying on complementary treatments, both instead of and alongside "regular" healthcare.
But problems arise when there is a lack of high-quality research and knowledge about complementary treatments, and too much reliance on such alternatives presents a risk that patients might not get the correct diagnosis in due time.
In the Frontier explores and expounds upon the differences between science and experience, providing solid information about the most common complementary medical treatments from a healthcare perspective. How do they work, what do we know of their effects and risks, and what does modern medical science have to say about them?
Moreover, and perhaps most importantly, since this is a trend that isn't going away, how can we integrate such complementary treatments into the official healthcare system in order to provide the best care possible for patients?
