Alternative Medicine
A word of caution as you visit these sites: be
skeptical but open-minded. Look to see if any of the claims made
there are backed by scientific evidence derived from the scientific
process. If you do not find such evidence, it does not mean that the
claims are inaccurate, however, you may wish to follow-up with further
investigation on your own.
