Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard medical care. Vertical Internet Media has been broadcasting online radio and podcasting Health Professional Radio for almost a decade. Providing half a million engagements a month, Health Professional Radio stories have provided access to mainsteam medical interviews and insights in podcasts, streaming radio, social media and on the web.
Now Health professional radio has a sister channel for CAM Health. CAM.Health is a podcast and website that provides a forum for complementary and alternative medicine. Provided from the philosophy that information is power and that patient empowerment leads to good health outcomes, CAM.health sponsors have something to say.
Standard medical care is medicine that is practiced by health professionals who hold an M.D. (medical doctor) degree. It is also practiced by other health professionals, such as physical therapists, physician assistants, psychologists, and registered nurses. Standard medicine may also be called biomedicine or allopathic, Western, mainstream, orthodox, or regular medicine. Some standard medical care practitioners are also practitioners of CAM.
Complementary medicine is treatments that are used along with standard medical treatments but are not considered to be standard treatments. One example is using acupuncture to help lessen some side effects of cancer treatment.
Alternative medicine is treatments that are used instead of standard medical treatments. One example is using a special diet to treat cancer instead of anticancer drugs that are prescribed by an oncologist.
Integrative medicine is a total approach to medical care that combines standard medicine with the CAM practices that have been shown to be safe and effective. They treat the patient’s mind, body, and spirit.
Whatever it is called, more and more patients who are not satisfied with convention are seeking alternatives. Complementary and alternative medicine is a very broad church when it comes to treatments and viewpoints and CAM.health allows those who hold those diverse opinions to voice them.

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable foliage of my trees, and but a few stray.
Steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the trickling stream and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.
When I hear the buzz of the little world among the stalks, and grow familiar with the countles
