Assignment Task: Watch either documentary
1. A Natural Way- Traditional Medicine and Natural Ways of Healing
2. The Connection: Mind Your Body
Then explain the following:
1. A short summary of the documentary
2. Your reflections, critiques, and things you found interesting. Be sure to integrate concepts from Ch 8, or other textbook chapters, in your discussion of the movies.
3. Did this change your view toward alternative medicine or mind/body medicine in any way? Would you be more or less likely to use it in place of or in conjunction with conventional medicine?
4. What do you make of the fact that the Mayo Clinic has an entire department devoted to the research and administration of alternative medicine, as we saw in the short movie clip showed in class? Would you be more likely to use alternative medicine that is evidence-based or not evidence-based? If so, under what circumstances would you use each?
