1). Alternative Medicine is Holistic, Western Medicine is Reductionist By : Daryl Kulak
The major difference between alternative medicine, or what I'll call holistic health, and Western medicine, is in approach.

3). Complementary Medicine Schools By : Michael Bustamante
Complementary Medicine Schools teach students how to use natural therapy and medicines as an addition to conventional medicine, to restore and maintain health. As far back as 420 B.C., around the time of Hippocrates, Complementary Medicine has been a useful practice that reaches beyond the realm of conventional modern medicine. At Complementary Medicine Schools, potential healers learn about homeopathy, acupuncture, naturopathy, chiropractic, Ayurvedic, and many other Complementary Medicine treatments.
