While you are investigating the lack of evidence for alternative remedies I wonder if you might look at the use the same techniques in so called orthodox healthcare. For example, the use of acupuncture and manipulation in medicine and physiotherapy. Interestingly the yellow pages advertises aromatherapy, reflexology and Indian Head Massage being offered by local physiotherapy clinics. I wonder, is it only acceptable for members of the Health Professions Council to use these techniques? I noticed that the adverts carefully avoided suggesting what conditions these therapies are used for. Reply
