摘要
The growing integrative health care community has produced a rhetorical text stressing personal empowerment. egalitarian relationships. and medical knowledge based on one's bodily experiences. This article examines the rhetoric of best-selling books and PBS documentaries promoting integrative medicine. A meta phor analysis of the rhetoric suggests that integrative medical practitioners perform a feminist intervention in bio-medical discourse having the potential to significantly alter health care practices in the U.S.
