Opinions drastically vary when it comes to the way we approach traditional and 'alternative' therapies. Some medical professionals feel that the two therapeutic approaches can work hand-in-hand, while others believe that alternative therapies can be dangerous and do not hold enough scientific merit. The panel wants to know where you would stand when it comes to treatments that are not yet supported by medical evidence. How would you approach this situation?

"I recently read a piece of research stating that nearly 70% of cancer patients use alternative therapies in conjunction with their traditional treatment. As most physicians know, many of these alternative therapies can be dangerous, even if they are 'natural.' Some specific herbs and supplements can interfere with chemotherapy and reduce its efficacy. There is no way I could ever know all the causes and effects of alternative treatment, so if there were no scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, I would not recommend it."
