Abstract
This article reviews common, reasonable therapies and questionable nutritional remedies for diseases and conditions that have dietary implications. Standard and questionable dietary remedies are defined and distinguished from other types of therapies, such as experimental or investigational Reasons for concern about questionable remedies are summarized. Some of the possible causes of their popularity are briefly reviewed. Several disorders are discussed to illustrate general points and concerns about the use of unproven remedies in clinical practice. The article concludes with remarks about some collaborative efforts between nutritionists and behavior therapists that are likely to be helpful to patients.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. .
