ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE (Syn. complementary medicine) A type of therapy or therapeutic approach based on unconventional beliefs or using unconventional techniques. Usually "alternative" implies non-medical or non-Western treatment systems or practices. What is "alternative" to one profession or to one culture may be accepted practice in another.(Woncadic)Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) ; is a broad domain of healing resources that encompasses all health systems, modalities, and practices and their accompanying theories and beliefs, other than those intrinsic to the politically dominant health system of a particular society or culture in a given historical period. CAM includes all such practices and ideas self-defined by their users as preventing or treating illness or promoting health and well-being. Boundaries within CAM and between the CAM domain and that of the dominant system are not always sharp or fixed.(Cochrane )la médecine complémentaire aborde le diagnostic, le traitement et / ou la prévention, elle est complémentaire de la médecine traditionnelle, contribue à un ensemble commun, satisfaisant une demande non satisfaite par l'orthodoxie. Elle diversifie les cadres conceptuels de la médecine.(Ernst & all, BJGP. 1995)Médecine alternative (syn: médecine complémentaire) Un type de thérapie ou une approche thérapeutique basée sur des croyances non conventionnelles ou utilisant des techniques non conventionnelles. Habituellement "alternative" implique des systèmes ou pratiques thérapeutiques non médicales ou non-occidentales. Ce qui est «alternatif» à une profession ou à une culture peut être acceptés comme normal dans une autre (Woncadic)UMLS CUI
