The New Holistic Medicine:
For quite some time providers of Alternative, or Holistic Medicine, have been exposed to all kinds of ridicule and efforts to discredit their practice as quackery, witchcraft, heresy, and black magic resulting in the execution of thousands of people. Times are changing and the scope of this post is to put the recent reemergence and popularity of Holistic Medicine (CAM) into facts and figures and establish a connection between these and the increasing involvement of the government to scientifically research, give credibility to the holistic modalities, and hopefully protect and educate the American public through various programs. An exercise which turns out to be very sobering for Conventional Medicine and very encouraging for the field of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM).
