	Alternative Biochemistry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The most common other proposed basis for an alternative biochemical system is the silicon atom, since silicon has many similar chemical properties to carbon and is in the same periodic table group.
		This is the opposite pattern of oxidation and reduction from a nitrogen dioxide world, and indeed from the known biochemistry of Earth; it would be analogous to Earth's atmospheric carbon supply being in the form of methane instead of carbon dioxide.
		Chlorine is sometimes proposed as a biological alternative to oxygen, either in carbon-based biologies or hypothetical non-carbon-based ones.

		Alternative medicine is just that - an "alternative" direction of medical science, based on certain principles.
		Alternative medicine is not "quackery", trickery, or simply derived from the imagination.
		In contrast, alternative medical treatment methods attempt to prevent additional trauma to the human body, by bypassing invasive procedures or intensive drug therapy as primary treatment methods.

	Alternative biochemistry - Alternativebiochemistry
		Alternative biochemistry collectively refers to an assortment of astrobiology theories and hypotheses in which life can be based on biochemical systems other than systems based upon organic chemistry, which is used by currently known forms of life.
		Proponents of such theories sometimes use the expression carbon chauvinism to disparage the assumption that organic compounds based on carbon, which form the basis of organic chemistry, are necessarily the basis for all life.
		In Forward's Rocheworld series, a relatively Earthlike biochemistry is proposed that uses a mixture of water and ammonia as its solvent.

	alternative health clinic about us at the healing arts center
		Our alternative health care clinic was founded by Dr. Lon M. Hatfield, a family practice MD who also has a Ph.D. in biochemistry, in 1998.
		After researching the relatively few alternative healthcare clinics currently in existence, he designed an alternative medicine facility to optimize the conditions that enable the body to experience natural healing.
		Alternative medicine emphasizes natural healing, non-invasive procedures, and disease prevention, so that synthetic drugs, surgery, and radiation are less likely to be needed.

	What's "Alternative" About Alternative Medicine?
		Alternative medicine has the potential to change not only how physicians treat a particular illness but also how they view the body, what healing is, and what role a patient plays in the healing process.
		Alternative medicine also requires a greater awareness of the medical techniques of other cultures and a commitment to care for the whole patient.
		While alternative medicine may have a great deal of wisdom to offer us, there are also many products and services currently on the market which are useless at best and hazardous at worst.

	Carbon Chauvinism ...Artilifes.com
		Another approach to alternative biochemistry is the idea that the basis of evolution need not be natural but could instead be deliberately created by an intelligent designer, opening up a wider range of possibilities.
		For example, it is possible in principle to construct a robot or a system of robots that is capable of replicating itself from raw ores and natural energy sources without any external direction or assistance (a "clanking replicator").
		Both diamondoid and carbon nanotubes are also commonly proposed materials for use in nanomachines, both of which are forms of carbon and so may not ideally serve as a counterexample to carbon chauvinism.

		You can speculate in a science fiction way about alternative biochemistries for life, but if you couldn't find anything on Earth moving ever so slightly towards an alternative biochemistry, that would argue against the idea.
		But when you do find an alternative biochemistry for life here on Earth, that makes it more plausible that somewhere else in the universe there's got to be an alternative form of life.
		I should very much like to direct chemists toward devising an alternative hypothetical chemistry that supports self-replication, a whole alternative system that could, in principle, give rise to life.

	Alternative
		Fundamental to understanding the difference between mainstream medicine and alternative medicine regarding the therapeutic benefit of copper bracelets is the emphasis of the burden of scientific proof.
		Many supplements, copper bracelets, etc. are still categorized as "alternative" because it is nearly impossible for the mainstream medical community to apply the scientific method to their use.
		Equally true, if mainstream medicine were able to adequately study copper bracelets, yet were unable to scientifically prove (via scientific method approach) the efficacy of it's use, those who seek alternative medicine treatments may chose to use it, because they still feel that it "works for them" (hence it being categorized as "alternative")...

		The regulation of alternative splicing in skeletal muscle by insulin represents a new mechanism induced by hormone signaling pathways to direct exon inclusion in protein kinase CßII mRNA.
		The alternatively spliced protein has distinct cellular functions from PKCßI such as different subcellular localization, different roles in insulin-induced glucose uptake, and opposite roles in cell proliferation.
		Insulin regulates alternative splicing of protein kinase C beta II through a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent pathway involving the nuclear serine/arginine-rich splicing factor, SRp40, in skeletal muscle cells.
