Berlin - Alternative treatments can now also play a role in the fight against cancer. According to Professor Gustav Dobos, for example, can help patients determine forms of meditation in dealing with the disease.
"There are studies that show that can degrade it fears," the director of the Clinic for Naturopathy and Integrative Medicine in Essen said on Friday (December 3) at the European Congress for Integrative Medicine in Berlin. Is organized by the Institute for Social Medicine, Epidemiology and Health Economics at the Charité in Berlin.
Also, acupuncture is now recognized as a method to combat side effects such as pain. "Those old grave battles between conventional medicine and alternative medicine, it no longer," said Dobos. The aim of the research should be to develop a so-called integrative medicine that combines alternative and conventional medical approaches.
One complication is still the distinction between effective and ineffective therapies. "Patients are bombarded from the Internet or from friends with a flood of information," said Dobos. Here, well-trained doctors are in demand. Patients should always scrutinize therapies offered to their proven efficacy. Improperly used in therapies could also be harmful under certain circumstances.
