Hello everyone ... I will be posting some resources here from the conference held at our local cancer support centre in May 2019. It was presented by one of the professors of nursing from a university. It is focused on Body-based, Mind-body
Biologically-based Energy, Whole systems
Some general terms:
- Complementary medicine
used together with conventional medicine
- Alternative medicine
used in place of conventional medicine
- Integrative medicine
combines treatments from conventional
medicine and CAM for which there is
evidence of safety and effectiveness. It is
also called integrated medicine
I'll be sorting thru the resources websites and will post again shortly - making sure they are all still current and link to where they are suppose to go.
