针灸、按摩、食疗、服用中草药,这些向来不为美国医学界正式认可而被称为“替代疗法”的非常规疗法正在进入美国千家万户。美国医学专家的调查发现,目前大约1/3的美国人都采用这些替代疗法治病健身,预计替代疗法将在下个世纪成为医疗保健的主流。 Acupuncture, massage, diet, and taking Chinese herbal medicines, these non-conventional therapies that have traditionally been referred to as “alternative therapies” that are not officially recognized by the medical community in the United States are entering millions of households in the United States. A survey of American medical experts found that about one-third of Americans currently use these alternative therapies for healing and fitness. It is expected that alternative medicine will become the mainstream of healthcare in the next century.
