What is the difference between complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine? How does each type of medicine relate to conventional health care in the United States? What are the major categories of CAM and the underlying concepts of each? How do they differ? What are the current trends in the use of CAM in the United States? Is CAM increasing or decreasing in popularity? Why? How do the principles of CAM differ from conventional or Western medicine?
Why are consumers increasingly interested in nonallopathic medicine and various CAM modalities? Why are there few scientific studies on the various types of CAM treatments? What is the purpose and role of NCCAM? What information is available to the public from NCCAM? What are the concepts, views of health/illness, and diagnostic and therapeutic methods of the major alternative medical systems? Conventional prescription drugs must demonstrate in clinical trials that they produce the desired response more frequently than placebos. Because 30% of subjects receiving placebos demonstrate the desired response, such as decreased blood pressure, decreased pain, and faster healing time, what does this say about the power of the placebo? Is a placebo response a bad thing? What does a placebo response indicate about the power of the mind and the mindΒbody interaction? How does the placebo effect relate to alternative medicine? Does it support or refute CAM as an effective therapy? What role do scientific studies and clinical trials play in determining efficacy and safety of CAM treatments?
