I ask not only because my medical aid (referred to as medical insurance) is spending massive amounts (in my view wasting massive) of the commonweal funding visits to homeopaths, herbalists and even *sniggers* flowerpaths.

In addition, in South Africa (where I am from) practitioners in the field of alternative medicine have called for more collaboration with doctors. Students of homeopathy in South Africa are petitioning the Department of Health for recognition in the form of compulsory community service (it is mandatory for all newly qualified main-stream health professionals to work in state hospitals and clinics for a period of two years – this has led to much consternation, as they can obviously earn far more). They have proposed that they work collaboratively with doctors to treat patients. Traditional healers (even though they have no formal qualification) are demanding the same recognition.
