  2. (CAM) Complementary and Alternative Medicine

  3. Eisenberg in 1993 surprised the medical community by showing that >30% of Americans use CAM approaches.

  4. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study of nearly 31,000 American adults revealed that in 2002 36% had used one or more modalities,

  5. Surveys among patients with cancer showed that 30 to 86% used CAM,

  6. among AIDS patients, 36 to 91% are reported to use CAM

  7. $7 billion each year on vitamins and mineral supplements, $4 billion on herbals and other natural products, and nearly $4 billion more on sports supplements.

  8. Eisenberg reported that total CAM expenditures in 1997 approached $30 billion, with more visits to practitioners for CAM services than to physicians in general.

  9. HOMEOPATHY was developed by Samuel Hahnemann, a Germanphysician, who postulated that substances that cause particular side effects in a well person may be used to treat or prevent such symptoms in an ill person if administered in miniscule amounts—what is known as "the doctrine of similars"

  10. For example, contact with poison ivy (Rhus toxicodendron) causes susceptible persons to experience an itchy, blistering rash. Homeopathy espouses administration of highly diluted extracts of poison ivy to treat other blistering, pruritic eruptions such as varicella.

  11. By the mid-nineteenth century homeopathy had gained considerable presence in the American medical establishment and may, in fact, have facilitated the development of Immunization and Allergen desensitization.

  12. It is the largest of all CAM practices in the United Kingdom, Germany, and France and is widely used in India.

  13. Homeopathic remedies are readily available and commonly recommended by Naturopathic physicians and other licensed and unlicensed practitioners.

  14. Homeopathic products predate FDA drug regulations and are sold with no requirement that they be proven effective. It would be reasonable to assume, however, given the extent to which homeopathic products are diluted, that most of them are safe.

  15. Some clinical trials of homeopathy for Asthma, infantile diarrhea, and other common conditions reported “positive results.”

  16. Two systematic reviews of homeopathy trials gleaned an overall favorable impression of the clinical trials data, concluding that the treatments were more beneficial than placebo

  17. Good sources of information include: The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database www.NaturalDatabase.com and National Institutes of Health (NIH) websites such as http://ods.od.nih.govhttp://nccam.nih.gov/health/ http://www3.cancer.gov/occam/information.html
