• Even medical students want conventional medicine to include alternative therapies

Are up-and-coming young doctors going to practice the same kind of mainstream medicine as their predecessors? Will the next generation of docs turn up their noses at alternative therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, herbs and vitamins -- just like the majority of the current crop of docs? In what may come as a surprise to many mainstream physicians, the answer to those questions may be a resounding "no".

According to research published in the online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM), 75 percent of medical students surveyed think it would be beneficial for conventional Western medicine to integrate with complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). CAM places emphasis on natural therapies and using the body's own healing powers instead of relying on drugs, vaccines and other standard Western treatments.

sunflowers, you are lucky to live in a modern area, so far my doctors are less informed and when I ask questions about nutrition, vitamins, supplements, they go braindead......

Yes, this is great news!

I go to an NCI-designated cancer center, and my surgeon - who is also the director of the program - is in her 30s and very "current" with everything.  She is recommending Dr. David Servan-Schreiber's "Anticancer" book, which advocates a holistic approach - conventional medical treatments plus major diet and lifestyle changes, emotional and spiritual work, etc.  I feel very lucky to have such an awesome surgeon.
