There is a group of people who really want to close down alternative medicine in Australia.
This is influenced from the UK, which has closed public funded alternative medicine Uni courses.
Now the article claims there may be a rethink with private health funds and rebates in Australia, as English medical insurers have removed rebates for alternatives.
With Euro austerity measures developing there are bound to be cuts.
It would be great to see more open mindedness at these times of change though. What will help? Relying on just one way of thinking similar to a monoculture or broadening vision and using as many dynamic points of view as possible to develop and respond?
