Unlike the image many have of those in the alternative medicine field shaking chicken bones and chanting over a patient much analysis of any illness is required. The client is interviewed regarding lifestyle diet hereditary factors work conditions and anything else deemed pertinent to the health problem. The ultimate goal is not merely to treat symptoms and get on to someone else but to restore wellness and balance to the individual. When traditional medical tests such as blood work are required there is complementary consultation involved between the allopathic and natural disciplines. Anyone seeking assistance from a natural health professional will be treated as a whole person not a sick part attached to an otherwise healthy body.
US Sen. Grassley: Asks top medical journals about ghostwriting
IowaPolitics.com (press release)
Grassley said his inquiry is part of his broader effort to establish transparency with regard to financial relationships between the pharmaceutical industry and medical professionals. “Public dollars and the public trust are at stake in the practice of medicine and the information that is shared in these journals can influence decisions made by doctors and their patients” Grassley said. “Transparency can do a lot of good in building confidence that there’s nothing to hide and that applies to how expert opinion is presented in public forums like these journals provide. In December Grassley wrote to Wyeth and DesignWrite a medical education and communications company regarding allegations that Wyeth hired DesignWrite to draft articles promoting the company’s hormone therapy products and seek academic investigators to sign on as the primary authors. Previously Grassley had written to Merck and Scientific Therapeutics Information a medical publishing company regarding similar allegations reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association related to articles on Merck’s VIXX studies.

2008;168(22):2401. With 2009 just around the corner I extend a welcome to the new editor of the Archives Rita Redberg MD MSc who begins her editorship in January. Dr Redberg is Professor of Clinical Medicine and Director of Women’s Cardiovascular Services at the University of California San Francisco Medical Center. In addition to her interest in cardiovascular technology assessment and outcomes research Dr Redberg has a masters of science in health policy and administration from the London School of Economics in England and was a Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow and worked in the US Senate. Dr Redberg is well qualified to lead the Archives now 100 years old to an even higher level as one of the world’s leading journals in general medicine. The change in editors brings to a close my 5-year term as editor of the Archives. At the beginning of 2008 I summarized some of the progress that occurred during my term as editor.

As the “geeks” of their times our founders pursued sophisticated interests that were well out of the main stream of medical thinking in their own specialties; they achieved greatness through scientific methodology and intense dedication to causes and concerns thought trivial (or worse) by much of organized medicine a century ago. The reasons for their collective interest in the form and function of the structures of the face neck and jaws were undoubtedly similar to our own. However the lack of a defined specialty and the haughty attitude of much of organized medicine toward their pursuits made it as difficult to incorporate facial plastic and reconstructive surgery into their practices as it was later in the century to introduce casual dress to corporate America. Jacques Joseph for example was fired for performing what is considered by many to have been the first modern otoplasty despite the success of the operation. Many cosmetic procedures were done clandestinely to avoid the scorn and scrutiny of those in medicine who felt that cosmetic surgery was somewhere between a waste of resources and blasphemy. As described in the Archives4 “The early period of facial plastic surgery was shrouded in secrecy in the surgeons’ combined attempt to guard highly prized techniques and ward off the public stigma of performing vanity surgery”—the culture of facial plastic surgery could have no public voice. Therefore the pioneers of facial plastic surgery had to find outlets for their observations and hypotheses at a time in which publishing was difficult circulation was expensive access was limited and most readers were uninterested at best and hostile at worst toward such writings.
