Please may we make a point or two
to help journalists and editors:
As the discussion of complementary therapies in the nation's healthcare
provision gains energy, there are increasing numbers of misleading headline and
copy references:
- Many complementary therapies are NOT medicines - phrases
such as 'alternative medicines' are misleading and unhelpful to the quality
of debate.
- Many complementary therapies would rather NOT be called
'alternative' at all - most see themselves as 'complementary', helping with
the orthodox approach rather than combating it. It is true that some
patients prefer complementary therapies and refuse orthodox treatments for
themselves (or owners refuse for their animals) - this is their own decision
which they have a right to, but this should not be recommended by any
properly trained, qualified and regulated therapist.
- The chiropractic treatments used by Vav Simon are
entirely proper and she has vets, doctors, nurses and other healthcare
professionals as human patients and as animal owners. For humans,
chiropractic has been available from BUPA for many years (Vav is a
registered provider), and has recently become available through the NHS.
