What are your thoughts on alternative and integrative medicine? Which aspects do you agree and disagree with?

"Although I support traditional medicine, I understand that alternative medicine can benefit some. I agree that there is a science behind alternative medicine; however, alternative medicine should be more strictly regulated. People need to educate themselves better before jumping into 'all-natural' therapy. Prescribed teas and herbs can be dangerous if taken in the wrong dosages. Even though it is natural, it doesn't mean your body will like it. As with all medicine and practices, research and education are crucial."

Just like you would answer a sensitive question surrounding politics or religion, it's best to support both sides when delivering your response. If you plan to voice a highly one-sided opinion, be prepared to give substantial evidence-based thoughts supporting your viewpoint. It's also important to know that Drexel University does support an MS degree in complementary and integrative medicine, so the practices are supported on their campus.
