Abstract:

Up to 83% of Australians diagnosed with cancer will use complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs). CAMs include physical, psychological, herbal, nutritional and spiritual therapies, and are used for a variety of reasons, including to help relieve the effects of both cancer and its conventional therapies, to enhance the efficacy of conventional treatments, to achieve a cure, to prolong life, to improve quality of life, or to meet personal or cultural needs. While some CAMs are beneficial, some, however, carry the risk of significant harm, especially when used alongside conventional therapi

Abstract:

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has become very popular with populations internationally and in the United States. CAM is defined as “a group of diverse medical and health systems, practices and products that are not generally considered as part of conventional medicine”. CAM is described as having five specific divisions: whole medical systems, mind-body medicine, biologically-based practices, manipulative- or body-based practices, and energy medicine. Recent studies have shown that CAM use is increasing. In the US 33% of the population reported using CAM in 1990, but 1997 usage

Reviews the book, Complementary medicine and clinical practice edited by David P. Rakel and Nancy Faass (2006). Complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, as it is known, has been an important and controversial topic for allopathic medicine. Although the majority of the patients in this country will use one or more forms of complementary medicine, and spend more out-of-pocket money on CAM techniques and practitioners than on allopathic ones, there is still a great deal of uncertainty among practicing physicians about what exactly CAM consists of.

The use of traditional and complementary medicines (T&CMs) is both ubiquitous in low and middle income countries and highly contested in some sections of high income countries. Whilst T&CMs are promoted as an accessible and affordable health care system by high level health policy makers (for example, the Director General of the World Health Organization), their use is simultaneously indicted as a waste of resources, non-scientific, and unethical. The aim of this thesis is to provide a calm, considered and well researched view on a highly emotional topic: What is the nature of the ethical chal

Use of complementary medicine products (CMPs) e.g. dietary supplements and herbal medicines, in pregnancy and lactation is common. This was investigated using systematic reviews, qualitative research, and quantitative survey research, with a specific focus on women’s information-seeking behaviours, CMPs information sources, and types of information sought. Factors that influenced women’s decision-making, including health literacy, were also examined. Results show that establishing the safety and benefits of CMP use were central to women’s decision-making. Participants had good health literacy

Abstract:

The standard anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) used for the treatment of HIV/AIDS have significant side effects resulting in a lack of adherence and the emergence of multidrug resistant viral strains. These drugs are also expensive, making it essential to investigate all alternatives to classical HIV/AIDS treatment. A wide variety of nonconventional medicines are used by patients for the treatment HIV and for symptoms associated with HIV. So long as they are safe and effective, traditional, complementary and alternative medicines (TCAMs) may be considered more advantageous for developing countries

Abstract:

An emerging trend in health care is the increased use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) by consumers. This has led to the integration of CAM services into conventional hospital settings, which is often called integrative medicine (IM).

This study sets out to understand different approaches to IM models of care through a comprehensive assessment of what is known about IM, evaluation of how IM operates in a number of major centres, and a comparison between the main models across three count
