Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 For the most part, Complementary alternative medical therapies (CAM) are a sellout to mainstream medicine, just as is the current accreditation program for naturopaths, where they are given a formal medical training and license and approved by the states - but are often forced to always choose mainstream methods first and use natural therapies only as " complimentary " secondary treatments. What you invariably end up with when it comes to cancer is mainstream slash, burn and poison treatments first, with assistance (that is where the " complimentary " part comes in) to the mainstream treatments from a relatively small group of mild natural therapies which pose no threat to the profits of mainstream treatments, such as massage, accupuncture, herbal teas, etc. CAM can be useful to help the body better cope with all the damage that is done to it by mainstream medicine, but it is being misused to keep people in the clutches of mainstream medicine and preventing people from finding true cures in nature, as well as avoiding all the damage, pain and expense of the mainstream treatments. From the time of Hippocrates and earlier all the way up to the age of unmitigated greed, mankind has always known to look to nature first. That should still be the case. oleander soup , robert-blau wrote: > > Good article at lef.org: > > Complementary alternative cancer therapies > Complementary alternative medical therapies (CAM) is a collective term > for an array of remedies that lie outside what is traditionally > considered conventional medical treatment for cancer.
