How can I find more information about complementary and alternative medical practices?
NCI has produced summaries of the scientific literature (PDQ summaries) and shorter question and answer documents (Fact Sheets) about certain CAM therapies. You may also wish to contact the NCCAM Clearinghouse to obtain the fact sheet, “Considering Complementary and Alternative Therapies.” The NCCAM Web site provides helpful hints and questions to consider when choosing an alternative healthcare practitioner.
