Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM).... Complementary & Integrative Health

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.
