Abstract

71 patients suffering from allergies and chronic skin diseases were questioned as to the so-called "alternative-medical" methods of treatment they had undergone. Two thirds of the patients judged the treatment as favorable or excellent, although the typical symptoms of only half of them, at the most, were actually improved. Part of the patients were able to reduce or do without their former medication. The vast majority of those patients who had already experienced a climatic therapy judged the success of such a treatment as good or excellent, when it was compared to a traditional or "alternative-medical" therapy alone. We discuss our results.
