Abstract:
The popularity of unconventional therapies has grown dramatically in recent years. This paper reports on the results of a pilot study investigating the perspectives of physicians involved with cancer care regarding their reactions to this trend and their ways of trying to meet associated challenges. Nine oncologists, nine general practitioners, and one surgeon were interviewed over the telephone, employing open-ended questions. The physicians were unanimously interested in having information available about unconventional therapies. They also expressed a desire to be supportive of patient choices in this area, provided conventional therapy was not compromised. However, there was little interest in initiating communication about unconventional therapies, with most seeing such discussions as a poor use of their time. Suggestions for future research, as well as educational and policy strategies, are addressed.

Abstract:
International and national research has shown that the use of complementary therapies (often referred to in the scientific literature as either alternative therapies or unconventional therapies) is widespread. However, there is little in the scientific literature about the use of complementary therapies in the treatment regime of people with dementia. Specifically, there have been no published results of investigations into the use of Reiki, a holistic complementary therapy, in the treatment regime of people with dementia. Before proceeding with an in-depth examination into the use of Reiki in the care of people with dementia, a questionnaire containing both closed and open-ended questions was distributed to 162 South Australian High Care Residential Facilities (formerly called Nursing Homes) in 2002. The return rate was 58.0% (n=94) of which 50.0% of the mail out (n=81) was available for analysis. Findings from the questionnaires suggested that a wide range of complementary therapies including aromatherapy, massage, music, behaviour therapy, healing touch, Reiki and Therapeutic Touch (Krieger/Kunz method) were used regularly within South Australian High Care Residential Facilities. Complementary therapies were reportedly used to calm residents, improve behaviour management, enhance the quality of life of residents, promote 1:1 interaction, stimulate the senses, and reduce the need for medication. Due to 15 facilities reporting the use of Reiki, a series of semi-structured interviews with Reiki practitioners caring for people with dementia was conducted in 2004/2005. Interview participants (n=10) included a representative range of people providing care for people with dementia in eight Nursing Homes in Adelaide, South Australia. Data reduction methods included a quasi-statistical counting of key words and repeated re-readings of the transcripts to discover the essences, abstract the meanings and arrange them into themes and sub-themes. The results of the interviews suggested that Reiki is an easy to learn and easy to use holistic complementary therapy which has the potential to enhance the quality of life of the persons with dementia, their family members, and their carers. The interview participants reported improved physical, psychological, mental and emotional well-being as well as enhanced relationships and a reduction in negative behaviours following the use of Reiki. The receipt of the first Jack Loader Scholarship from the Rosemary Foundation for Memory Support Inc. in early 2005 enabled the researcher to transfer to full-time studies from April 2005. Key Words: aged care; alternative therapies; complementary therapies; dementia; early onset dementia; one to one interaction; quality of life; Reiki; therapeutic touch; unconventional therapies.

Abstract:
A hipercolesterolemia caracteriza-se pelo aumento dos níveis de colesterol no sangue. Apesar do colesterol ser uma substância endógena que desempenha funções biológicas fundamentais, quando em excesso no sangue, pode aumentar consideravelmente o risco de doenças cardiovasculares (DCV). Assim torna-se necessário controlar os níveis de colesterol, de forma a mantê-los nos intervalos de referência. É imperativo actuar na prevenção e/ou na implementação de farmacoterapia eficaz e segura. As estatinas são consideradas a classe de fármacos de primeira linha no que diz respeito ao tratamento farmacológico desta patologia, uma vez que reduzem eficazmente os níveis de colesterol total e de colesterol LDL. Embora muito eficazes, por vezes são mal toleradas. As terapêuticas não convencionais (TNC) têm surgido como opções no tratamento da hipercolesterolemia, sendo cada vez mais procuradas. Estas são um conjunto de terapêuticas que têm frequentemente por base princípios diferentes da medicina convencional e que por vezes, dispõem das suas próprias técnicas de diagnóstico e de tratamento. A legislação actualmente vigente em Portugal reconhece sete TNC, sendo elas, a acupunctura, a fitoterapia, a homeopatia, a medicina tradicional chinesa (MTC), a naturopatia, a osteopatia e a quiropraxia. Na presente monografia será enunciado de que modo a fitoterapia, a naturopatia e medicina tradicional chinesa actuam na diminuição e controlo da hipercolesterolemia. A homeopatia não foi abordada, uma vez que se rege por princípios muito próprios, não comparáveis com a medicina convencional. A osteopatia e quiropraxia por sua vez são terapias que têm por base a manipulação do corpo humano e por isso não actuam sobre a diminuição dos níveis de colesterol.
Hypercholesterolemia is characterized by increased levels of cholesterol in the blood. Although cholesterol is an endogenous substance that plays key biological functions, when in excess in the blood, it can greatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Thus, it is necessary to control cholesterol levels in order to maintain them in the reference intervals. It is imperative to act in the prevention and/or implementation of effective and safe pharmacotherapy. Statins are considered the class of first-line drugs with regard to the pharmacological treatment of this pathology, since they effectively reduce the levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. Although very effective, they are sometimes poorly tolerated. Unconventional therapies (UTs) have emerged as options in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, being increasingly sought after. These are a set of therapies often based on different principles of conventional medicine and sometimes have their own diagnostic and treatment techniques. The legislation currently in force in Portugal recognizes seven UTs, including acupuncture, phytotherapy, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), naturopathy, osteopathy and chiropractic. In this monograph will be stated how phytotherapy, naturopathy and traditional Chinese medicine act in the reduction and control of hypercholesterolemia. Homeopathy has not been addressed since it is governed by very own principles, not comparable with conventional medicine. Osteopathy and chiropractic are in turn therapies that are based on the manipulation of the human body and so do not act on lowering cholesterol levels.

Abstract:
The use of complementary and alternative medicine by children with cancer appears to be common, with 31% to 84% of pediatric oncology samples reportedly using at least one complementary or alternative therapy according to surveys conducted in several regions of the world, including North America (Fernandez et al., 1998; T. Friedman et al., 1997; Kelly et al., 2000; Neuhouser et al., 2001); Australia (Sawyer et al., 1994); the Netherlands (Grootenhuis et al., 1998); Finland (Mottonen & Uhari, 1997); and Taiwan (Yeh et al., 2000). This chapter reviews the medical literature regarding complementary and alternative medicine in relation to pediatric oncology. To begin, the issue of defining complementary and alternative medicine is addressed. Studies of complementary and alternative medicine use by the general adult population and by adults with cancer as well as by pediatric oncology samples are described to highlight issues concerning definitions of complementary and alternative medicine and to ascertain the prevalence of use of specific complementary and alternative medicine modalities. Available reports of clinical trials testing complementary and alternative medicine modalities in the context of pediatric cancer are summarized. Finally, a discussion is provided on spirituality and religion in relation to complementary and alternative medicine and the challenges faced by children with cancer and their families. Complementary and alternative medicine was described by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the National Institutes of Health as “a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine.” The NCCAM indicated that the term complementary therapy refers to therapies used in conjunction with conventional medicine; alternative therapies are those that are used in place of conventional medicine, for which conventional medicine is defined as medicine as practiced by holders of medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathy (D.O.) degrees and other health professionals, including physical therapists, psychologists, and registered nurses. According to the NCCAM, additional terms for conventional medicine include allopathy, Western, mainstream, orthodox, regular medicine, and biomedicine; additional terms for complementary and alternative medicine include unconventional, nonconventional, and unproven medicine.

Abstract:
Sexual obsessions are perhaps the least understood manifestation of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and include worries about sexual orientation, infidelity, sexual deviations, incest, pregnancy, and blasphemous thoughts. Although about 25% of those with OCD are believed to have symptoms with sexual themes (S-OCD), mental health professionals have difficulty making a proper diagnosis. Few clinicians know how to treat this form of OCD, and there are very few materials available to guide clinicians. Treatment using cognitive-behavioral principles is sometimes unconventional, and few therapists receive training in how to address S-OCD their academic programs. Even well-educated psychology students and practicing therapists have stigmatizing attitudes toward sexual obsessions compared to other types of OCD content. This manual takes the best cognitive-behavior therapy strategies for the treatment of OCD, and illustrates how to apply them to clients with S-OCD. It contains direct written step-by-step instructions for therapists as well as educational handouts and diagrams for clients to promote learning.
