| On Tuesday, Sept. 12, 1995 the subject of the NBC TV
Network program *The Other Side* is scheduled to be alternative medicine. The title of
that day's show is *Doctors Who Bucked the System.*
The guests include Kristy Fassler, ND,
a leading naturopathic physician from NH and a patient Dr. Fassler
treated successfully for colitis using homeopathy and nutrition (after
the patient had used conventional medicine for 20 years with no benefit)
and Vikki Hufnagel author of *No More Hysterectomies,* and one of
her patients.
Several other clinicians and researchers appear on the
program, which was taped before a live studio audience at NBC's Burbank, CA studios on
August 16.
*The Other Side* airs for an hour during the daytime Monday-Friday on 70 percent of NBC's
200-plus affiliated stations around the country. In Los Angeles and New York, for example,
it is on at 9 am. For broadcast times in other cities, check local listings.
*The Other Side,* which NBC describes as a *non-traditional reality
talk show,* covers alternative medicine on a regular basis. Last
January, for example, in a program on alternative cancer therapies,
Stanislaw Burzynski, MD, PhD and one of his young patients were
featured guests. Unlike many other mainstream media presentations on alternative healing,
*The Other Side* takes a fair, objective, and
generally positive approach. When the show set to air Sept. 12 was
taped, the subject was treated seriously and without prejudice.
There are reports that *The Other Side,* which has been on the air
since the fall of 1994, is being considered for renewal by the network.
Viewers who support the program are advised to contact NBC and/or their local stations to
speak up for the show at what may be a critical time. |
