“With 62 percent of the American public using CAM, from dietary supplements to chiropractic, there is not only a great need to inform conventional and CAM health care professionals, but also to provide the public with information they can use to make decisions about their health care options,” said Stephen E. Straus, M.D., NCCAM Director. “This CME series is a valuable addition to the other resources on the NCCAM Web site.”
CAM is a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not presently considered to be part of conventional medicine. Examples are dietary supplements, hypnosis, chiropractic manipulation, and acupuncture. The series currently has six different lectures. Each lecture includes an overview of the CAM area, a review of research results and ongoing research, and discussion of the historical and practice perspectives.
CAM topics covered are:
Overview of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Herbs and Other Dietary Supplements
Mind-Body Medicine
Acupuncture: An Evidence-Based Assessment
Manipulative and Body-Based Therapies: Chiropractic and Spinal Manipulation
Complementary and Alternative Medicine and Aging
Each lecture includes:
A video lecture by a scientific expert
The lecture transcript
An online test that can be taken to receive CME credits ( credits for nurses will be added soon )

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
