Answer to Question 1

Answer: Complementary health approaches are used along with conventional medicine as part of the integrative-medicine approach. Alternative approaches are traditionally used in place of conventional medicine, as when a person with cancer adopts a macrobiotic diet and rejects the treatment path outlined by his conventional medical team. However, the NCCIH reports that such cases are rare in the U.S. Some complementary health approaches, such as massage and chiropractic, have built up enough evidence of effectiveness that they are now commonly used in conjunction with conventional treatments.
