Description
Summary:[...]definitely not least, thanks are owed the numerous reviewers of articles submitted to the journal, without whose generous donations of time and knowledge MAQ could not function. The five commentators in our discussion include a folklorist with graduate and postdoctoral training in medical anthropology (Shelley R. Adler), a medical anthropologist (Hans Baer), a medical sociologist (Meredith B. McGuire), a physician who has explored homeopathy, acupuncture, and aspects of mind-body medicine (David Reilly), and a doctor of naturopathy (Joseph E. Pizzorno Jr.), who is a cofounder and former president of Bastyr University, the first fully accredited university of natural medicine in the United States. Villarosa reports that "43 percent of Americans have used some form of alternative medicine" and notes that the White House Commission's report released in March 2002 called "for increased research spending, more coverage by insurance companies and more Medicare coverage of these treatments" (2002:13).
