Nearly half of all U.S. adults now go outside the health system for some of their care. We make more visits to nonconventional healers (some 600 million a year) than we do to M.D.s, and we spend more of our own money for the privilege–about $30 billion a year by recent estimates. Complementary and alternative medicine, or CAM, is not a single, unified tradition. The term covers practices ranging from the credible (acupuncture, chiropractic) to the laughable (coffee enemas)....
