This package includes Complementary & Alternative Medicine V. This 24-page issue looks at disciplines, education, clinics, supplement sales, insurance and government involvement.
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is attracting increased scientific scrutiny, yielding a growing body of evidence indicating efficacy and safety of CAM therapies. Positive research findings, coupled with heightened public interest in CAM, are fueling rapid integration of therapies once viewed as unconventional into the mainstream community.
CAM therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy and mind-body medicine have made broad inroads into medical schools, research institutions and even hospitals. The number of integrative clinics continue to rise, even as pioneers in the field experiment to find successful business models.
NBJ's research department has also updated our comprehensive quantitative analysis of the CAM services market and practitioner supplement sales (CHART 3) and our annual list of top companies selling supplements in the practitioner channel (CHART 63).
Chart 3 presents data on each year from 1997 to 2002, with number of licensed and lay practitioners, CAM service revenues and supplement sales by 8 major modalities.
Chart 63 presents top selling supplement companies that service the U.S. practitioner market sales channel from 1999 to 2002.
All three of these products are available independently for a total of $314...but can be purchased together for an special offer price of $222, almost 30% off the total!
The data charts will be delivered via e-mail. The issue is in hard copy only and will be delivered via your selected shipping method.
