Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)
Be an Informed Consumer
Keep in mind that the number of Web sites offering health-related
resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information,
while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading.
To evaluate the quality of a Web site, take a look at who runs the
site, who pays for it, and the purpose of the site. Also, check out
where the information comes from, how it is selected, and how
current it is.
Scientific research on many CAM therapies is relatively new, so
information about safety and effectiveness may not be available for
every therapy. However, many studies of CAM treatments are
underway, and researchers are always learning more about CAM.
