Talk:CAM

The trouble with being skeptical, is it also tends to make one hate anything outside of the mainstream. the idea that "things that have not been proven" is part of CAM is troubling for us to state. CAM supports meditation, yoga, relaxation techniques, etc., all of which have quite a history of scientific proof behind them, but which are routinely dismissed by the more elite of medicine. only in the last 5-10 years have doctors begun to accept that pain management, long term illness "comfort" levels, personal desire to improve etc., are actually not something you can pop a pill for, and these alternative and SUPPLEMENTAL (hence the term) techniques employed. why so many docs are resistive? i don't knwo. but they are.--Godot She was a venus demilo in her sister's jeans  18:33, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
