Abstract:
Complementary therapies are popular with people who have cancer. They are used in addition to, and to complement, conventional therapies for cancer. They can be grouped together with alternative therapies, under the umbrella term complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). However, alternative therapies aim to work as a distinct alternative, rather than as a complement, to conventional therapies. Integrated or integrative health or medicine describes an approach that combines elements of both complementary and conventional therapies. Many patients find complementary therapies attractive beca

Abstract:
Abstract Homoeopathy is one of an increasing number of therapeutic approaches to health problems that are proving more popular with patients and some doctors. These therapeutic approaches are sometimes referred to as ‘alternative therapies’ but this depiction of them is too antagonistic and rejecting by allopathic medicine based on scientific rationalism. A preferable term is ‘complementary therapies’, which suggest their use alongside allopathic medicine.

Abstract It is time to begin the process of weighing and evaluating evidence because of one simple fact: people often do feel better after they have received a complementary and alternative therapy. This, in turn, requires us to choose between the two most popular rival hypotheses, beliefs, explanations, or opinions (take your pick) advanced for explaining this strange fact: (1) CAM recipients feel better because of some biochemical, energetic, magical, or unknown component of the therapies themselves, or (2) CAM recipients feel better because of the placebo effect.

Abstract The Twin Threads of kinship and pilgrimage run deep in the fabric of Protestant culture. Kinship, on the one hand, is a concept calling on all the reverences for family membership, parent-child relationships, honoring thy father and mother, belonging to a group of relatives who help one another and love one another, belonging to a closely knit community. Pilgrimage, on the other hand, summarizes the process of leaving home to seek one’ s fortune that forms the complementary side of Anglo-American Protestant life.
