Stellenwert der Komplementärmedizin bei der Betreuung Schwerkranker

Abstract

Complementary methods are requested and used very often by patients suffering from chronic, incurable or terminal illness, expecting strengthened physical and mental resistance, better response to therapy with less side-effects. Unfortunately there is very limited evidence for efficacy of most complementary methods. Nevertheless proven harmless methods should be admitted without rising false hope. The most important remains however loving care.
