抄録

In this study, we first state that, although the majority of patients access complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) for the purpose of medical treatment or therapy, most conventional medical professionals（especially physicians） believe“ Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM)” to be the only legitimate principle and tend to hold CAM in contempt. Furthermore, we point out that the deficiency of legal regulations for CAM causes a serious problem that a vast number of patients depend on ineffective or even unsafe CAM. Stemming from this, we stress the importance of introducing particular regulatory frameworks for CAM as“ medicine.” Then, we argue for the significant benefits produced by regarding CAM as a part of the field of medicine and enumerate the conditions necessary to utilize CAM effectively within the current medical system, considering the advantages as well as the limitations of EBM. In conclusion, we emphasize the necessity of“ Medical Pluralism” to ensure the safe and effective use of CAM to properly respond to the health needs of patients. Conventional medicine based on EBM is reliable but still limited in many ways. Therefore, a lot of patients are dissatisfied with current medical care in Japan. As far as we accept these facts, we must recognize that“ Medical Pluralism” can be the essential idea which enables the integration of CAM and EBM into the holistic medical care system truly required by patients.
