Complementary and Alternative Medicine: From Promises to Proof (Webcast) - Stephen Straus, M.D., discusses how many people are turning outside the medical mainstream to approaches that embrace the whole person-mind, body and spirit. In fact, Americans spend more money for complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, than for all other health care needs. From acupuncture to massage therapy to dietary supplements, CAM approaches are affordable and accessible, but largely untested. Dr. Straus will discuss current research on which CAM practices work, why and how they work and whether they are safe.
