TOC and Introduction
More than 40% of the US population is now using complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches on a regular basis.1 Patients’ perceptions about the deficiencies in their medical care are reflected in their increasing expenditures for alternative care, votes in favor of medical freedom acts (Minnesota, North Carolina), and petitions to Congress for access to over-the-counter herbs and supplements. The public desire for the integration of "alternative" or "unconventional" treatment approaches into conventional health care settings has been well documented. Physician dissatisfaction with the current system of care is also prevalent, with the limitations imposed by managed care as a major contributing factor.
