DOES COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE

MEDICINE WORK?

The main point made by people who dismiss Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM as a

pointless waste o! time and money is that there is no scienti!ic evidence whatsoever that it wor"s# $or

conventional medicine there is o! course an enormous amount o! scienti!ic research to bac" up the

8/10/2019 Advanced Test 2

3/5

e!!ectiveness o! medical treatments# This is because o! the !undamental di!!erence between conventional

medicine and CAM# Conventional medicine re%ards the body as a comple& and sophisticated machine and

illness as a brea"down o! one or more parts o! the machine# 'ts aim is to %et the machine wor"in% properly

a%ain by removin% the problem parts or treatin% them so that they return to wor"in% order# CAM in the !orm

o! such thin%s as homeopathy acupuncture and medical herbalism re%ards illness as a brea"down o! the

body)s natural healin% systems# 't believes that there is a natural non*physical !orce in all o! us thatenables the body to heal itsel! and its aim is to ma"e that !orce power!ul enou%h to overcome illness and

restore health#

This natural non*physical !orce however cannot be detected usin% the usual scienti!ic techni+ues# ,o it is

impossible to prove its e&istence scienti!ically and this has led some people to re-ect the whole idea o!

CAM# .ith conventional medicine we can test scienti!ically whether treatments have an e!!ect on the body

by loo"in% !or chan%es in the body)s cells nerves or%ans and systems as a result o! treatment# .ith CAM

we cannot prove whether or not the natural !orce !or restorin% health e&ists# /owever it is possible to see

what e!!ects CAM treatments have had on the cells and structures o! the body in order to assess their

e!!ectiveness#

ne e&ample o! scienti!ic evidence !or the e!!ectiveness o! CAM treatments is a study which showed thathomeopathic medicine had an e!!ect on the brain activity o! su!!erers !rom !ibromyal%ia a pain!ul muscle

disorder# 1esearch also indicated that acupuncture was e!!ective in the treatment o! patients su!!erin% !rom

Crohn)s disease a pain!ul disorder o! the di%estive system# Tests on their di%estive systems showed that

they had less in!lammation a!ter acupuncture treatment# Another study concerned the hi%hly diluted

solutions used in homeopathic medicines# ,ceptics claim that these cannot possibly have any e!!ect

because they are so diluted and little or nothin% o! the ori%inal substance remains# ut a study showed that

ultra*hi%h dilutions o! histamine (a protein involved in aller%ies have an in!luence on cell activity in the

body#

ne o! the most common tools o! conventional medical research is a test called an 1CT# This is a

comparative test to discover the e!!ectiveness o! !or e&ample a new dru%# ,ome sub-ects are %iven the

dru% and others are %iven a dummy pill# The sub-ects do not "now whether they have ta"en a real pill or a

dummy one "nown as a placebo# 1esearchers then loo" at whether the people who too" the real pill

showed more improvement than the people who too" the dummy pill or placebo# The same "ind o! test is

also carried out !or CAM treatments and it seems an obvious thin% to do in order to %et evidence o! their

e!!ectiveness# /owever a number o! CAM practitioners !eel that these 1CT tests are not appropriate !or

CAM treatments# This is !or two reasons#

$irstly they say this is because CAM therapies are entirely !ocused on each individual as a separate case#

Treatment isn)t dictated by the speci!ic medical problem the patient is su!!erin% !rom but by the need to

restore to !ull power that individual)s natural !orce !or maintainin% health# ,o the result o! an 1CT test !or

one person may be wholly di!!erent !or another meanin% that no %eneral conclusion could be drawn about

a particular treatment# ,econdly the practitioners say a "ey !actor in CAM treatments is the relationshipbetween the patient and the practitioner# Many people especially those with severe or lon%*standin%

medical problems opt !or CAM treatments because they do not want to ta"e dru%s !or a lon% time or

because they do not have !aith in conventional medicine to improve their condition# ,ome o! these people

may !eel that they %et bene!its !rom CAM treatments and !rom their consultations with CAM practitioners

even i! the treatments do not wor" !or their ori%inal problem# ,o CAM treatments may be bene!icial in ways

that 1CT tests would not reveal# ,ome patients !or e&ample say that they pre!er the holistic approach o!

CAM and !eel that the decisions about treatment %ive them %reater control over their own lives than

conventional medicine# They li"e the !eelin% that they are ta"in% personal responsibility !or their own health#
