Learning about CAM, Complementary and Alternative Medicine

health No Comments »

Regarding CAM, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Henry Guzman, Registered Nurse and Exercise Physiologist at Baptist Health South Florida, explains: “Complementary is anything that’s going to complement traditional medicine, so anything from food therapy to exercise complement.”

He also points out it is traditional in the sense that it has been rigorously tested through research and been kind of tested over all. And it is alternative as opposed to the combination of alternative and traditional medicine.

This term is referring to different types of exercises and diets, such as aromatherapy and reflexology.

Emory’s Dr. Stacy Higgins explains what is meant by “alternative medicine.”

Alternative Medical Systems: When Do They Work Best? – Dr. Devi Shetty with Sadhguru

health No Comments »

Renowned cardiac surgeon, Dr Devi Shetty, founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya, asks Sadhguru if medical systems other than Allopathy can be effective.

****************************************

Transcript: http://isha.sadhguru.org/blog/video/alternative-medical-systems-when-do-they-work-best/

Devi Shetty: There are large number of Indian or western techniques of healing, which may not have scientific data, but they work. And I have a personal experience. Many years ago, my wife developed lower backache. It was intense pain, excruciating pain. As usual I took her to a neurologist, they did MRI and everything is fine, there is no problem. But poor thing she was really…
Sadhguru: I’m glad you were not a spinal surgeon, otherwise you would have done it (Few Laugh).

Devi Shetty: Then my brother-in-law suggested that I should take her to see a (n) acupuncture specialist. As a doctor… you know it was a bit embarrassing for me to go to somebody… (Laughter) And he didn’t have a fancy clinic, I went to his house. And he talked to my wife for few minutes and he made her sleep flat on the floor and Sadhguru he took… you know from the…the… the heel he started pressing on her lower back for ten minutes as I was watching. I am not exaggerating, she never had the lower back pain ever since.

Sadhguru: I’ll show you thousands and thousands like that, not even…

Devi Shetty: I…

Sadhguru: …not even with any needles, simply…

Devi Shetty: I was so fascinated, because he cured my wife and he did something which I couldn’t do it for thirty-two years, just by kicking her butt (Laughter) she was fine. There are many ways of treating people and as professionals we have to respect all the ways of treating.

Sadhguru: Definitely. I would say allopathic system is at its best, when there is an emergency. When there is time, definitely other systems are way better if you ask me, in many ways. Particularly this is something hardly known to people, in southern most part of India, largely in Tamil Nadu we have what is called as Siddha – Siddha Vaidya. It’s a most incredible medical system. So comprehensive, there are over three hundred thousand formulations. I don’t think even modern pharmacopeia has that, over three hundred thousand formulations elaborately written down. And the fundamental difference between Ayurveda and Siddha is – Ayurveda is herb based, Siddha is elemental.

The only thing is the skill level that it demands from the doctor is a challenge in modern world. This is something that you have to live, then only it works. The person who administers it is as important at (as?) what is administered. so who administers it is important, not just what is administered. But the nature of modern medicine is, you write a prescription some chemist who knows nothing about it gives it, and they take it. It’s only purely chemical and it works. But when there are chronic ailments, if there is infection, killing it with whatever you know chemical bombing it, is the way to do it. But when you are generating an illness from within, correcting it from within is most important. If there is an emergency, you have to intervene more aggressively, that’s different.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as nurses and physical therapists, practice.

Complementary medicine is used together with standard medical care. An example is using acupuncture to help with side effects of cancer treatment.

Alternative medicine is used in place of standard medical care. An example is treating heart disease with chelation therapy (which seeks to remove excess metals from the blood) instead of using a standard approach.

The claims that CAM treatment providers make can sound promising. However, researchers do not know how safe many CAM treatments are or how well they work. Studies are underway to determine the safety and usefulness of many CAM practices.

To minimize the health risks of a CAM treatment

Discuss it with your doctor. It might have side effects or interact with other medicines
Find out what the research says about it
Choose CAM practitioners carefully
Tell all of your doctors and practitioners which CAM and standard treatments you use
