Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Despite the success of allopathic or biomedicine (conventional Western medicine), many conditions such as chronic back and neck pain, arthritis, gastrointestinal problems, allergies, headache, and anxiety continue to be difficult to treat. Complementary, alternative, and mind-body types of medicines can be used in tandem with allopathic medicines but are distinctly different.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Meditation is indicated for stress-related illness and is a nonmedical approach. In addition, meditation increases productivity, improves mood, increases sense of identity, and lowers irritability. Acupuncture, ayurvedic, and chiropractic are all medical approaches. The use of ayurvedic herbs has been available for centuries to treat illness and is a type of whole medical system. Acupuncture focuses on redirecting vital energy (qi) in the body's meridian energy lines to influence deeper internal organs. Chiropractic therapy involves manipulation of the spinal column and includes physiotherapy and diet therapy.
