question 4 you?
Question:
Answers:
The main difference is that conventional (mainstream) medicine is usually double-blind tested for both safety and effectiveness. Alternative or complimentary medicine usually relies on empirical data like first hand accounts as proof of safety and effectiveness.
Which is better? It depends. If I was in an accident and needed emergency care, I'd go to a mainstream hospital. If I wanted to prevent high blood pressure, I'd go to a naturopath. If I wanted help managing Type I diabetes, I'd go mainstream but if I wanted help with Type II, I'd go "natural".
Integration will only happen if (1) patients demand it and (2) alternative medicines can sucessfully stand up to testing.
Hope that helps.

I don't really understand what your looking for but I can tell you that there is a lot of difference between medicines. It's a very hard topic to say which medicine is more effective..the government of course makes more money off of Western Medicine more than anything that's why they are SO slow in passing laws and getting insurance companies to pay for more alternative medicine health cares like massage therapy, chiro, acupuncture, nutritional therapy things in that nature! the government makes TONS of money off of PILLS! PRESCRIPTION MEDICINE! So they would rather keep alternative medicine out of the picture because in alternative medicine it's about healing the body NOT COVERING UP THE SYMPTOMS WITH MEDS! So doing something smart like that would loose them money and you know they are NOT FOR THAT! So I say go for ALTERNATIVE HEALINGS before dropping in to the doctors off because of a little low back pain that they will give you a pill for or a headache or whatever how about taking care of your body and getting a massage or an adjustment. And plus alternative medicine is a lot cheaper! What like $60 bucks a massage and $500 for a doctors visit? Anyways hope this helped..I could go on forever!
