Recent CAM Research
Recent Complementary and Alternative Medicine Research Synopses
Our monthly research synopses are part of our effort to share current complementary and alternative medicine research with practitioners and the general public. For the most part we try to choose studies which have direct clinical implications for practitioners and are relevant to the publics understanding of our medicine.
The research studies highlighted are drawn from a number of sources and are only a snapshot of what is available in medical journals worldwide. Our research synopses are included in our practitioner email newsletter which has open subscriptions (archives are also available).
In addition to our research synopses, our newsletter includes articles and other news from our premium practitioner members (open to all CAM practitioners).
