--------------------------------------
MARC records for the following programs are now available on PBS
TeacherSource, at http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/library.htm. Please

Frontline "The Alternative Fix"
Middle / High School
Thursday, November 6, 2003
9 - 10:00 pm
Through interviews with staunch supporters, skeptical scientists and
observers on both sides of the debate, this documentary examines how
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatments are facing
increased scrutiny as the first real studies of their effectiveness are
published, and questions whether hospitals that offer alternative
therapies are conferring a sense of legitimacy on these largely untested
and scientifically unproven treatments.


At the companion site, access a compendium of fact sheets and resources
to learn more about alternative therapies, get tips and safety
precautions for those considering alternative treatments, watch the
program online, trace the history of alternative medicine's conflicts
with conventional medicine and much more.
