Preface
About This Book
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) defines complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) as a group of diverse medical and healthcare systems, practices, and products not generally considered part of conventional medicine.
Complementary medicine is used together with conventional medicine, and alternative medicine is used in place of conventional medicine. Integrative medicine combines conventional and CAM treatments for which there is evidence of safety and effectiveness. While scientific evidence exists regarding some CAM therapies, for most there are key questions that are yet to be answered through well-designed scientific studies—questions such as whether these therapies are safe and whether they work for the purposes for which they are used. According to a report based on data from the National Health Interview Survey, nearly 12 percent of U.S. children and adolescents (aged 17 years and under) use some form of CAM.
Complementary And Alternative Medicine Information For Teens , Third Edition provides updated information about CAM systems, therapies, and practices, including various whole medical systems, manipulative practices, and movement therapies. Mind-body medicine, biologically based practices, energy medicine, and creative arts therapies are also discussed. A special section describes CAM therapies intended to help patients with specific diseases and conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The book concludes with information about CAM clinical trials, suggestions for further reading, and a directory of CAM resources.
How To Use This Book
This book is divided into parts and chapters. Parts focus on broad areas of interest; chapters are devoted to single topics within a part.
Part One: Introduction To Complementary And Alternative Medicine defines CAM, provides statistics on CAM use in the United States, and describes how to evaluate web-based CAM information. It also includes suggestions for selecting a CAM practitioner.
Part Two: Whole Medical Systems explains systems of medicine that were built upon theories and practices that developed separately, and often independently, from the standard approach to medicine used among physicians in Western nations. These include traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, homeopathy, and others.
Part Three: Manipulative Practices And Movement Therapies describes procedures based on the theory that different types of body repositioning can have an effect on health and well-being. Chiropractic medicine, kinesiotherapy, massage therapy, Rolfing structural integration, and Feldenkrais method are other techniques explained.
Part Four: Mind-Body Medicine discusses therapies that rely on focus and relaxation. These include biofeedback, meditation, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, and guided imagery. Qi gong, tai chi, and yoga are also included, and spirituality as a form of CAM therapy is addressed.
Part Five: Biologically Based Practices provides facts about nutrition and health, dietary and antioxidant supplements, herbal medicine, and botanical products—including one of the most controversial: marijuana. It also explains biologically based practices, such as oral probiotics, enzyme therapy, and others. In addition, specialized diets (such as Fad diets and detoxification diets) are discussed.
Part Six: Energy Medicine describes practices purported to induce healing by manipulating the body’s life force. These include acupuncture, which has been studied extensively related to its role in pain management and nausea relief, and others about which less is known, such as magnet therapy, therapeutic touch, and reiki.
Part Seven: Creative Arts Therapies discusses how art and music therapies can affect health in a positive way.
Part Eight: CAM Treatments For Cancer And Other Diseases And Conditions offers information about the types of complementary health therapies that are used most frequently for cancer, pain management, asthma, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
