Abstract
Regina R. is a 12-year-old girl with recently diagnosed
insulin-dependent diabetes. Before discharging her from
the hospital, her family physician and consulting diabetes
specialist try to instruct the girl and her parents in
the appropriate program of treatment, including diet, insulin,
and regular self-monitoring. However, the parents become
upset when they learn what is involved in insulin treatment
and inform the family physician they plan to employ the
services of an alternative healing clinic that promises
to cure their daughter with a combination of herbal potions,
macrobiotics, aroma therapy, therapeutic touch, Ayurveda,
homeopathy, and guided imagery.
