Arizona sunshine streamed through open French windows. On the floor were votive candles and peacock feathers, symbols of healing. It was the closing ceremony in a month-long course at the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, promoting the notion that doctors should use alternative treatments alongside conventional ones. Speaking to the students was Andrew Weil, a doctor and campaigner who heads the center. Dr Weil is a diminutive Santa Claus with a not-so-diminutive brand. He writes books and sells products (such as the Dr Andrew Weil for Origins(TM) Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Soothing Face Lotion, for $61). Profits go to his foundation. On this occasion he was in his role as teacher, explaining the importance of nutrition in keeping patients well. That is a doctor's task, he said, not merely treating the sick. Few in mainstream medicine would disagree with such an approach. But Dr Weil continued by saying that evidence-based medicine, at its worst, "is exactly analogous to religious fundamentalism." He urged the students to promote integrative medicine. Together, they would be the future of American health care. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
