[Natural healing methods versus alternative medicine--attempt at a distinction].
In this decade we can realize--especially in Europe--that many patients turn their back on established medicine and want to undergo alternative medicine. Alternative medicine is often mixed up with natural medicine, although classical natural medicine is very different from alternative medicine and is a part of established medicine. This paper gives a survey of the important methods of natural medicine on one side and of alternative medicine on the other side including their difference.
