Alternative vs. conventional medicine

So today we've been talking about alternative and conventional medicine, although unfortunately the fire drill has interrupted us! Anyway, may you believe in alternative methods (like reiki, homeopathy, and so on) or not, everything can be discussed with tolerance and acceptance.
This short film portrays the point of view of a very down-to-earth poet which lived a similar situation as the one shown in the story. Even if we don't agree with his point of view, this gives us ideas and reasons to use - some food for thought. So watch it again, maybe getting familiar with the script first.


In addition, work on the article Trick or treatment? this weekend, so next week we can study a different point of view.

And last but not least, expand on this topic by watching a video about the placebo effect: The power of the placebo effect. If you're already registered in the TedED website, after watching the video, you can take the comprehension test. If you're not registered yet, so now it's your chance ;)
