Complementary and Alternative Strategies and Experience here
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is defined as a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. According to a survey by the National Institutes of Health, almost 40% of adults in the U.S. utilize some form of CAM. When prayer specifically for health is included as a CAM technique, the U.S. number rises to roughly 62%. Of note, the World Health Organization estimates 80% of the population in many developing countries rely on alternative medicine.
