About 1 in 9 U.S. kids use alternative medicine

There has been increasing awareness regd. the use of CAM in the USA.
the irony of the situation is that what we call CAM here (Complimentary and Alternative medicine) is actually the Traditional mainline medicinal healing systems of some civilizations, e.g Indian, Chinese, native american, African, Inca/Mayan and so on....; tested and tried for thousands of years with much benefits and little/no side effects .....
funny, isn't it , for us to call it CAM? But at least we are opening up to try them now.....4/10 adults and 1/9 children have tried CAM in the last one year :) keep up the good stuff!
