The range of complementary therapies available has increased. The treatments offered may improve the 'whole' person but not the 'part' which is diseased. Inquiry into the length and type of training of therapists is needed to ensure ethical practice. Recognition of the usefulness of some complementary therapies by orthodox medical practitioners is slowly increasing. Caution should continue to be exercised.
