Neuroloog Allen Bowling slaat een brug tussen complementaire en reguliere zorg bij MS Op 29 september a.s., 9.30 uur in het Mercure hotel Nieuwegein. .
Allen C. Bowling, MD, PhD is op 29 september de spreker bij de lancering van het boek 'Complementaire en alternatieve geneeswijzen bij Multiple Sclerose' in het Mercure Hotel in Nieuwegein. De bijeenkomst "Over wat nog meer mogelijk is bij MS" handelt over de integratie van complementaire en alternatieve geneeswijzen bij MS. Doel is te komen tot een integrale aanpak binnen de zorg. Neuroloog Bowling heeft hiervoor een vijf-stappenplan uitgedacht dat in Amerika al door zowel zorg als patiënten is omarmd. Het initiatief voor deze dag ligt bij Stichting MS-Anders die hoopt dat Dr Bowling met al zijn kennis en kunde ook in Nederland in staat is om op een positieve manier een brug te slaan tussen 'complementaire en reguliere zorg', mede door in een open en opbouwende discussie de mogelijkheden en beperkingen te onderzoeken.
Allen C. Bowling
Dr. Bowling staat aan het hoofd van het programma Complementaire en Alternatieve Geneeswijzen van het Rocky Mountain MS Center in Englewood, Colorado (VS) . Daarnaast is hij associate professor klinische neurologie aan de universiteit van Denver en het Health Sciences Center. Dr. Bowling maakt zich sterk voor integratie tussen reguliere en complementaire geneeswijzen en heeft verschillende prestigieuze onderscheidingen ontvangen voor zijn werk op dit gebied. Ook op het gebied van Multiple Sclerose verschenen verscheidene boeken en artikelen van zijn hand.
Waarom een combinatie van complementaire en reguliere behandelingen? In de zoektocht naar een medicijn tegen de ziekte Multiple Sclerose worden er steeds vaker hoopvolle vindingen gedaan, maar deze conventionele geneeswijzen slaan nog vaak niet of te weinig aan, zijn niet voor iedere patiënt geschikt en geven soms hele ongemakkelijke en vervelende bijwerkingen. Een toenemende meerderheid van patiënten met MS combineert daarom conventionele geneeswijzen op enigerlei wijze met complementaire en alternatieve behandelingen om het leven zo dragelijk mogelijk te maken.
Naslagwerk
Het boek 'Complementaire en alternatieve geneeswijzen bij Multiple Sclerose', van de hand van Dr Bowling dient als richtlijn voor de discussie. Dit naslagwerk is op initiatief van Stichting MS-Anders vertaald, omdat: "in dit boek iedere alternatieve behandelwijze op een kritische, wetenschappelijke en objectieve manier wordt benaderd", aldus Professor dr. J.H.A. de Keyser, als neuroloog verbonden aan het Universitair Medisch Centrum Groningen en het Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel. Stichting MS-Anders stelt zich als doel zoveel mogelijk objectieve, eerlijke en betrouwbare informatie over complementaire en alternatieve behandelwijzen beschikbaar te stellen, zodat de MSpatiënt van vandaag de dag een individuele en verantwoorde keuze kan maken.
Actie!
Uit een rapport van TSO/NIPO blijkt dat maar liefst 5 miljoen mensen positief staan tegenover complementaire zorg en dat ruim 1,5 miljoen patiënten/consumenten gebruik maken van enige vorm van complementaire zorg. Het wordt zolangzamerhand dus echt hoog tijd dat ook de professionals in de zorg hun patiënten serieus informeren over alle bestaande conventionele en onconventionele therapieën en hoe deze - op maat - op een veilige en verstandige manier in te zetten.

Dear Colleague,
I am writing you about a topic that I think is important for MS clinicians to be knowledgeable about and address in patient care--alternative medicine. Among conventional health care providers, the subject of alternative medicine evokes a wide range of responses, including curiosity, apathy, and disgust. Regardless of your perso- nal feelings about the subject, I think the quality of care that is provided to people with MS can be improved by addressing alternative medicine issues. In studies in Europe (as well as Canada, Australia, and the United States), it has been found that the majority of people with MS use some form of unconventional medicine. Unfortunately, for these people, current information sources, such as the in- ternet and lay books, are of variable quality. High quality, evidence-based information in this area is important because unconventional therapies may be helpful, harmful, or have no effect whatsoever.
To improve the quality of MS-relevant unconventional medicine information, I have written several books, including Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis. You can improve the situation for your own patients by becoming knowledgeable in this area and providing appropriate information. I have been involved in the area of unconventional medicine for more than ten years. For me, it is not a substitute, but rather a complement, to what I provide with conventional medical care. When appropriate, I am now able to guide patients away from unconventional therapies that are unsafe or ineffective and towards those that are low-risk and possibly effective. Overall, I think it has improved the quality of care that I provide to my patients. I encourage you to explore this subject.
Sincerely,
Allen C. Bowling, MD, PhD
