As alternative medicine becomes mainstream, more and more individuals are taking notice of its effectiveness.
One such individual is Prince Charles, who has urged the UK’s Coalition government to move forward on studying and adapting alternative medicine practices.
A source said that the Prince wanted to see “evidence-based complementary treatments taking a proper integrated approach that gives people choice and where regulation would build confidence in making choices”.
This is a reasonable and surprising position to take, because it shows people at even the highest levels of government are showing interest in alternative cures to some of the unsolvable medical issues of our time.
It’s becoming increasingly popular among the citizenry as well:
Under Labour, there were two public consultations – in 2004 and 2009 – which found high levels of public support for regulation of those practising herbal and Chinese medicines.
Hopefully, government can find a way to license and regulate practitioners without burdening the ability of healers to engage in their practice.
