Different Worlds of Healing Story aired: Friday, April 01, 2005
About one in three adults in the U.S. use some form of alternative medicine, but they usually don't tell their medical doctors about it. And while many major hospitals do offer some form of alternative care like mind-body centers, these two different worlds of healing are still very separate.
