mind’s ability to affect the body. Some mind-body interventions (e.g., behavioral-

ANS: A
Herbs are plants or parts of plants that contain and produce chemical substances
that act on the body. Some diet therapies are believed to promote health and pre-
vent or control health. Proponents of diet therapies include religious factions such
as Seventh-day Adventist or Jewish Kosher. Veganism, vegetarianism, raw food
diets, and diets promoted by Drs. Atkins, Pritikin, and Weil are other examples of
, therapeutic nutrition. Orthomolecular therapies use differing concentrations of
chemicals or megadoses of vitamins aimed at treating disease. Many biologic
therapies are available but not currently accepted by mainstream medicine, such
as the use of cartilage products from cattle, sheep, or sharks for treatment of
cancer and arthritis or the use of bee pollen to treat autoimmune and inflamma-
tory diseases.
