There is an increasing interest for Alternative Medicine among the lay-man and some physicians. However, no critical nor constructive discussion is happening between them and Scientific Medicine. The scientific evaluation of Alternative Medicine is hampered by the difficulty to transfer the various medical paradigms, and some practitioners are not MDs. Despite this impediment, an evaluation must take place, with adapted criteria, without going to much away from scientific standards. Health officers from several industrial countries are working on that topic. It will be of prime importance to aim at a consensus, and it should be regularly revisited.
外行和一些医生对替代医学的兴趣日益浓厚。然而，他们与科学医学之间并未展开批判性或建设性的讨论。替代医学的科学评估因难以转换各种医学范式而受阻，而且一些从业者并非医学博士。尽管存在这一障碍，但仍必须采用适当标准进行评估，且不能偏离科学标准太远。几个工业国家的卫生官员正在研究这一课题。达成共识至关重要，并且应定期进行重新审视。
