| This workshop will initially cover: what is natural health?; are the sceptics or the believers correct?; links between pharmaceutical and natural products; good research; bad research; natural product research; and the best natural product research from 2007 and 2008. Then, the session will become interactive and hold debates on: should doctors recommend homeopathy and chiropracty?; can we accept a lesser degree of evidence for natural treatments?; the use of placebos in medical practice; should everyone take a multivitamin and fish oil?
