"People's needs maybe are not being met by conventional medicine, so we need to question ourselves what we are doing wrong. We need to evaluate these alternative therapies scientifically · those that are found to be effective should be embraced by conventional medicine, and those that are found to be ineffective should be rejected by both conventional medicine and patients."
