Ristovski, Farmaceutski fakultet, Beograd e_mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: If one take into account that have been identified almost 100 different bioenergies, corresponding to as much different culture traditions and local putative medical systems, it could be easily understood the actual controversial situation in alternative medicine. Therefore there is a variety of doctrinal descriptions of the bioenergies in different AM systems, which are expressed in different terms and vocabularies, because their origins belong to the different culture traditions. This variety of doctrinal descriptions of the bioenergy, being the fundamental entity of any AM system that uses it, leads to the irreconcilable differences between the different AM systems, as well as between the majority of them and actual science. However, the supporters of some AM systems exert a trend to express the contents of theirs doctrines using the terms and vocabulary of actual science. In this way, they facilitates the beginning of a dialog with ac tual science, as well as the rea ffirmation of many very serious and relevant scientific investigations of the phenomena in alternative medicine, which are accomplished during last almost five de cades on the periphery of the actual science. Namely, these investigations were ignored by the elite science, which even now days consider the alternative medicine, as well as the scientists which are interested in its phenomena, as an area of pseudo-science and the delusions. On other side, the belief of the supporters of AM systems was also ignorant, because the results of mentioned scientific investigations did not confirm their doctrines. In the further, it will be considered the variations of AM doctrines which manifest an interest to establish a dialog with actual science by accepting the terms and vocabulary of actual science, independently on the manner by that the doctrine content is expressed. However, this approach does not imply the ignorance of AM systems with rigid doctrine because, as it will be seen, it is possible to classify all AM systems in manner which reduces the evident diversity. Introduction In spite of all obstacles which it was faced with, the Eastern traditional medicine, developed and traditionally applied during the last two millennium in China, Korea and India, has an evident place in the Western medical practice. This does not means that the obstacles are not present yet, because there are a lot of problems which must be solved. One of the most difficult is the skepticism of many Western physicians and scientists, because at the moment there is not an acceptable scientific explanation of the effects of its therapies. There are opinions that the main problem is misunderstanding which came out from the different world view and different vocabularies of the Western and Eastern science and scientist, although it is evident that there is not Western or Eastern science, but the unique actual science only.
