Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): Part I
November 21st, 2008A quick look at the growing number of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) professionals confirms the increased demand for integrative approaches to health. The table below shows a breakdown of the types of practitioners and how fast each segment is growing.
The undeniable importance of alternative medicine is confirmed by the fact that American adults spend more than $10 billion a year on CAM. This is in addition to what they spend on traditional medical treatment. Many people – especially aging baby boomers – are willing to pay for advice and innovations that help them look and feel healthy. The demand for anti-aging goes well beyond aesthetics. Prevention is a priority shared by a growing number of people, CAM practitioners and certainly by Eng3.
