Alternative Medicine Goes Mainstream

In its most recent issue, the U.S. News & World Report addresses alternative medicine. The cover states, "Top hospitals are now embracing such unconventional techniques as acupuncture, homeopathy, and energy healing." The article reports that recognized leaders in medicine such as the Mayo Clinic, Duke University Medical Center and the University of California-San Francisco offer acupuncture, massage and other Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) services.

CAM continues to grow in popularity and as a long time proponent of getting the best care possible, whether it be traditional or alternative, I’ve include an entire chapter dedicated to CAM in my new book. In addition to an introduction to CAM I introduce readers to several well known and well respected mainstream physicians who support and practice CAM. Among them are Dr. Ronald Hoffman, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Dr. Christiane Northrup.
