Alternative medicine DefinitionAlternative medicine is any form of practice that is outside the realm of what is called "mainstream conventional modern medicine" in U.S. and most of the Western world. It covers a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. Most of these treatments and health care practices are not taught at all or at least not widely in medical schools. It is any of the various systems of healing or treating disease in the list we have (as chiropractic, homeopathy, faith healing) click at the bottom of page to go back to list. It is worth notating that practitioners of some treatments and techniques (for example, hypnosis, acupuncture) often described as 'alternative' are, in fact, accepted by the mainstream in the U.S. and are not regarded as alternative by many in the mainstream in the U.S. Likewise in many of the European countries (example Belgium). Homeopathy is excepted by mainstream. In fact one can state that in most States in the U.S., as well as in most other countries it is a fact that as soon as government excepts a form of alternative Medicine one can be assured that many MD's dare to come out of the closet and OK it, and start to practice it. The often bitter conflict between the more extreme partisans on both sides does not reflect the reality of a modern health system. Also, the definition of what is and isn't 'alternative' constantly changes, generally as result of research. It is not a fixed category.
