Integrated writing-alternative medicine
The passage highlights the advantages of alternative medicine. However, the lecture undermines it by counting the weaknesses of its claim, saying the alternative medicine is not based on true science, has a false popularity, and is not practiced under true supervision.
The lecturer indicates that conventional medicine is based on experimental evidence and employs biomedical and technological sciences. However, alternative medicine cannot be tested or fails through the scientific tests. This refutes the passage's premise that alternative methods are more effective than the conventional one.
Moreover, the primary reasons for the popularity of alternative medicine are unproved claims which are spread by media and false believes about adverse effects of synthetic drugs. Actually, people have a biased tendency toward alternative remedies, which is not supported by scientific evidence. This undermines the passage that says in comparison to conventional methods alternative medicine has more satisfying results without serious consequences.
Finally, the lecture contends that conventional health care practitioners are trained via a scientifically devised system with adequate and meticulous surveillance. They are granted practice licenses under close supervision while , in contrast to the passage claim, those practicing alternative medicine have not such a reliable educational system and they do not have registered licenses.
