The C.A.M. Report
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point

  • About this web log

    This blog ran from 2006 to 2016 and was intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research. Since my background is in pharmacy and allopathic medicine, I view all CAM as advancing through the development pipeline to eventually become integrated into mainstream medical practice. Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here.

    ? Dr. Ed Zimney has a good article that outlines how a clinical trial is conducted.

    The Journal of the American Medical Association also has a nice article that defines many of the terms used to describe clinical trials (eg, randomized, blind, informed consent, etc.).
