Rockford Register Star
KinigakisSpecial to RRSTAR. CMPosted Aug 01 2009 @ 11:28 PM Recently the Rockford Register Star ran a series of articles from The Associated Press that was critical of complementary and alternative medicine. These articles failed to differentiate between CAM and integrative medicine. In integrative medicine the best of conventional and the best of alternative medicines are used to help the body facilitate healing. No NE modality has the monopoly on successes or failures including conventional medicine. Both conventional and alternative medicines have their pluses and minuses. The great technical advances in modern medicine are a benefit to us all.
