A Patient's Dilemma
Alternative medicine is booming, with over two million people partly or wholly rejecting orthodox treatments. Today, in the latest bid for respectability, the alternative therapies launch their own council, but is their natural medicine necessarily safe medicine? David Henshaw has been looking at the bewildering variety of alternative therapies on offer - and the chaos that exists over the qualifications of those who practise them.
As orthodox and alternative do battle over the patients, he examines the terrible dilemma facing those with diseases like cancer, where the choice can be one of life or death.
