A Different Way to Heal?
Description
Acupuncture. Herbal remedies. Magnet therapy. Consumers and patients have made alternative and "complementary" medicine a billion-dollar industry. But do these and other alternatives to traditional Western medicine really work? Many claims exist for the efficacy of such treatments, but they are rarely supported with scientific testing and evidence. This classic episode of Scientific American Frontiers follows research projects and clinical trials attempting to test such claims with scientific methods.
