Complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) have become the fastest growing approach to help resolve or diminish the severity of medical challenges and the nuances of everyday living. With the advent of the seasonal influenza and the ‘swine flu’ (H1N1) there has been much talk about the availability of vaccine, who will and who will not opt-in to be vaccinated.
To help resolve the issue of availability and one’s choice, to not be vaccinated, numerous individuals may turn to CAM to boost their immune system and additionally practice common preventative measures such as hand washing. It is important to talk to your health care provider or health care practitioner who is knowledgeable about CAM and dietary supplements.
