Have you ever been to the beach? Did you see a man with a head set pointing along pole at the
ground? If so you might have seen a person using a metal detector. People use these devices to find
metal.
Metal detectors make magnetic waves. These waves go through the ground. The waves change
when they hit metal. Then the device beeps. This lets the person with the device know that metal is
close.
The first metal detectors were meant to helpminers. They were big. They cost a lot ofmoney.They
used a lot of power. And worst of all, they didn’t work well. People kept trying to make them better.
Metal detectors got smaller. Now they are light and cheap. They also work better. Thatis why people
bring them to the beach. They can look for rings in the water.They can look for phones in the sand.
Metal detectors help them find these things. They usually just find junk though.
Metal detectors also protect people. They help to keep guns out of some places. They are in
airports.They are in courthouses. Some schools use them. They help guards look for weapons. Guards
use special wands to find metal on a person.
These devices save lives in other ways too. During wars, people plant bombs in the ground. When
the war ends, they don’t clean up their messes. This is unsafe for the people who live in those places.
Others use metal detectors to find bombs. They remove them and help the people.
These devices also make clothes safer. It sounds funny, but it’s true. Most clothes are made in big
factories. There are lots of needles in these places. Needles break from time to time. They get stuck in
the clothes.They would poke people trying the mon.
They don’t though. That’s because our clothes ares canned for metal. Isn’t that nice? Let’s hear it
for metal detectors. They make the world a safer place.

Once people wore garlic around their necks to ward off disease. Today, most Americans would
scoff at the idea of wearing a necklace of garlic cloves to enhance their well-being. However, you might
find a number of Americans willing to ingest capsules of pulverized garlic or other herbal supplements
in the name of health.
Complementary and alternative medicine, which includes a range of practices outside of conventional
medicine such as herbs, homeopathy, massage therapy, yoga, and acupuncture, hold increas- ing
appeal for Americans. In fact, according to one estimate, 42% of Americans have used alternative
therapies. In all age groups, the use of unconventional healthcare practices has steadily increased in
the last 30 years, and the trend is likely to continue, although people born before 1945 are the least
likely to turn to these therapies.
Why have so many patients turned to alternative therapies? Many are frustrated by the time
constraints of managed care and alienated by conventional medicine’s focus on technology. Others
feel that a holistic approach to healthcare better reflects their beliefs and values. Others seek therapies
that relieve symptoms associated with chronic disease; symptoms that mainstream medicine cannot
treat.
Some alternative therapies have even crossed the line into main- stream medicine, as scientific
investigation has confirmed their safety and efficacy. For example, physicians may currently prescribe
acu- puncture for pain management or to control the nausea associated with chemotherapy. Additionally,
