Dr.Steven Margolis/ Alternacare of Sterling Heights -"A lot of people are coming here as an office of last resort because they tried all the conventional treatments and not gotten better." The Alternative Medicine business is booming. A study in today's Journal of the American Medical Association Examined why people are turning to herbs, acupuncture, and other methods of alternative healing. Dr. John Astin/ Stanford Medical School -"The majority of people do not appear to be using alternative therapies so much as a substitute for conventional medicine but more as a supplement or addition to, and hence one of the debates within the field is what do we term these therapies, a number of people have decided on calling them complementary and alternative." Dr. Steven Margolis - "A lot of people are coming here because I am a regular physician and I will combine the two." Doctor Steven Margolis of Alternacare in Sterling Heights represents a growing trend. 95-percent of patients using alternative medicine do not want to give-up conventional treatment. Dr. Steven Margolis - "When you combine the two, I think that's when patients do the best." The National Survey found the most common reasons for turning to alternative treatments include: chronic pain, anxiety, chronic fatigue syndrome, addictions, arthritis and headaches. Dr. Steven Margolis - "Without a doubt patients seeking alternative treatments are more educated than the rest of the practice in general." The National Study found these patients are, on average, not only smarter, but sicker. They study all the alternatives. But they often wait until the last minute to try an alternative approach. Dr. Steven Margolis - "We're seeing an awful lot of cancer patients. Unfortunately when its spread throughout the body, that's not the time to be seeking herbal treatments." Doctor Margolis believes herbal remedies can offer hope to cancer patients when taken early. But he does "not" recommend that patients abandon traditional cancer treatments. Fewer than 5-percent of patients surveyed said they relied "only" on alternative medicine. Home | Upcoming Stories | Previous Stories |Survey | About Healthy Living | E-Mail
