Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)

Alternative medicine practices are based on unscientific belief systems or philosophies. They may incorporate spiritual, metaphysical, or religious underpinnings, untested practices, pre-modern medical traditions, or newly developed approaches to healing. If an alternative medical approach, previously unproven according to orthodox scientific or regulatory methodologies, is subsequently shown to be safe and effective, it may then be adopted by conventional practitioners and no longer considered “alternative.”
