PTE 阅读新题：“补充疗法”
COMPLEMENTARY THERAPIES
什么是补充疗法？
补充疗法中涵盖的治疗方式多种多样。顺势疗法、传统中医、人智疗法等等，很多都是患者在学院派西医之外，也需要接受的补充性医疗方式。
具体地说，补充和替代医疗包括中医（中药、针灸、指压、气功）、印度医学、免疫疗法（淋巴球疗法等）、药效食品·健康食品（抗酸化食品群、免疫活性化食品、各种预防补助食品等）、芳香疗法、维生素疗法、食疗、精神·心理疗法、温泉疗法、氧气疗法等等。的确，其中含有一些非科学的内容，对于实践西医的医生来说，或许难以接受。但是我们不得不承认一个事实，作用机理和有效性得到科学证明的疗法最近正在急增。美国FDA承认针灸针为医疗器具，承认中医为“独立的完整医学系统”，正说明了补充和替代医疗正在有力地冲击并补充着现代西医。

INTRODUCTION
Complementary therapies – such as those practised by naturopaths, chiropractors and acupuncturists – have become increasingly popular in Australia over the last few decades. Interest initially coincided with enthusiasm for alternative lifestyles, while immigration and increased contact and trade with China have also had an influence. The status of complementary therapies is being re-visited in a number of areas: legal regulation; the stances of doctors’ associations; their inclusion in medical education; and scientific research into their efficacy. With the exception of acupuncture, complementary therapies are not routinely funded through Medicare, so there is little administrative data regarding their use. However, the ABS has some data about the use of complementary therapies which can help inform discussion.

Overview
Many people use complementary (sometimes known as alternative) health treatments to go along with the medical care they get from their health care provider.
These therapies are called “complementary” therapies because usually they are used alongside the more standard medical care you receive (such as your doctor visits and the anti-HIV drugs you might be taking).
They are sometimes called “alternative” because they don’t fit into the mainstream, Western ways of looking at medicine and health care. These therapies may not fit in with what you usually think of as “health care.”
Some common complementary therapies include:
Physical (body) therapies, such as yoga, massage, and acupuncture
Relaxation techniques, such as meditation and visualization
Herbal medicine (from plants)
With most complementary therapies, your health is looked at from a holistic (or “whole picture”) point of view. Think of your body as working as one big system. From a holistic viewpoint, everything you do–from what you eat to what you drink to how stressed you are–affects your health and well-being.
ABSTRACT
Complementary health therapists – such as chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists – are relatively small occupation groups but have been growing fast, according to census data. Likewise, the number of people who reported having consulted such a therapist in a two-week period increased from around 500,000 in 1995 to almost 750,000 in 2004-05. This article presents information on the number and characteristics of complementary health professionals and of the people who consult them.
