I have truly enjoyed this course! Thank you so much for designing it - I think the videos were excellent and the information within the course was very helpful in practical ways for helping me set up integrative care in conventional settings. I love the colorful and positive way you presented traditional medicines and the way you included several cultures. Thanks again for the great course!

It was a phenomenal course indeed. By far, the best I have enrolled in Coursera.org. The way they presented the cultural roots and the traditional medicine systems associated with different groups of people from different places on the globe, it was just so nice. I really loved it a lot and learned a lot regarding the future aspects of CAM in cancer care.

This course is interesting if you have at least a base in basic/herbal medicine as it gives an inside of both conventional and herbal medicine. Its difficulty, however, is not basic level, which is great as a challenge and to make sure you sit down and study carefully all the materia you get offered. The interviews with the different doctors give a nice touch to the couse as it gives an inside view of THM from the eyes of a doctor from that region that uses it rather than someone who read the information in a papar and decided to preach it. The recipes are easy to follow with herbs that arent extremely rare or hard to find, and can be easily prepared. Even if the course is only related to THM, it has a section about treating the patient in a more intimate way and constructing a trust relationship which I think is a big step that differentiates from conventional care.

This is very interesting from the western medicine point of view. We are just starting to use integrative medicine. So much better than just having a bottle of pills thrown at you. Good to learn about: it's the wave of the future.
