Poll to Support Integrative Medicine - Your Voice Counts!

Mon, 06/02/2012 - 3:44pm |  admin

Dear Friends & Supporters of Integrative Medicine,

No doubt you have seen the recent campaign headed by Prof John Dwyer calling for universities to stop education in the areas of complementary medicine. A new group called ‘Friends of Science in Medicine’ has formed to lobby against universities including complementary medicine in their curriculum. They also want the government to stop subsidising complementary medicine through the private health insurance rebate, even though 50% of the public see a complementary medicine practitioner and 70% use natural supplements!
