Question

There is no complementary or alternative medicine (CAM). There is only medicine; medicine that has been tested and found to be safe and effective . . . Medicine that has been tested and not found to be safe and effective . . . and medicine that is plausible but has not been tested . . . How would you apply the above statement to CAM therapies? "Complementary therapy" and "alternative therapy" are the terms used interchangeably. Do you think a meaningful difference exists between these two terms? Why? What barriers exist in traditional (allopathic) medicines for acceptance of CAM therapies? Why is it insufficient to rely on a century's worth of anecdotal evidence for alternative therapies?

Allopathy is completely on the medications.

The barriers are:

* research results

* only Chronic has CAM

* acceptance by people

* recognition

*scientific proof is lagging
