READ THE PARAGRAPH AND
RESPONSE ACCORDINGLY. Once
people wore garlic around their
necks to ward off disease. Today,
most Americans would scoff at the
idea of wearing a necklace of garlic
cloves to enhance their well-being.
However, you might find a number of
Americans willing to ingest capsules
of pulverized garlic or other herbal
supplements in the name of
health.Complementary and
alternative medicine, which includes
a range of practices outside of
conventional medicine such as herbs,
homeopathy, massage therapy, yoga,
and acupuncture, hold increasing
appeal for Americans. In fact,
according to one estimate, 42% of
Americans have used alternative
therapies. In all age groups, the use
of unconventional healthcare
practices has steadily increased in
the last 30 years, and the trend is
likely to continue, although people bornbefore 1945 are the least likely to turn to these therapies.Why have so many patients turned to alternative therapies?Many are frustrated by the time constraints of managed care andalienated by conventional medicine’s focus on technology. Others feelthat a holistic approach to healthcare better reflects their beliefs andvalues. Others seek therapies that relieve symptoms associated withchronic disease; symptoms that mainstream medicine cannot treat.Some alternative therapies have even crossed the line into mainstreammedicine, as scientific investigation has confirmed their safetyand efficacy. For example, physicians may currently prescribe acupuncturefor pain management or to control the nausea associatedwith chemotherapy. Additionally, many U.S. medical schools teachcourses in alternative therapies, and many health insurance companiesoffer some alternative medicine benefits.
