title: Homeopathy within alternative and orthodox care.
abstract: The increasing demand for treatment by alternative care practitioners has resulted in MCOs marketing networks of acupuncturists, herbalists, massage therapists, and others to their members. However, before an alternative provider network is considered, one must understand the comparisons and contrasts between conventional biomedical-based therapy and alternative care techniques. In the conclusion of a two-part article, the author delves into the practice of homeopathy.
