I witnessed my own sister, at only 40 years of age, be diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. However, with everything to gain, she explored and used natural therapies and has currently extended her life by another 5 years. Her Oncologist in Melbourne documents NOTHING about her 'miracle' recovery, because its "Natural Medicine" and he doesn't understand it!
Respect difference and dare to consider others.

I can say from my own experience that such therapies are hugely beneficial in treating all sorts of health problems; from back pain, to migraines and acute illnessess. These sorts of medicines actually have a much longer history than mainstream Western medicine, and have been proven to work. Considering all this it would be a backwards step for Tasmania to remove such training.
