ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE (CAM) IN THE WORLD

Alternative medicine (CAM) in the world

What is silenced

For the present, the publication is the most extensive source of verified information on traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (TCIM, formerly CAM), being remarkably successful in the international arena. It is an important aid for discussions with the professional community in this area. It can also make a significant contribution to negotiations with national healthcare regulators. Last but not least, it also provides the general public with essential verified information on the potential benefits of TCIM for human health.
