    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy and the Future of Health Care. The job of the Commission-was to establish guidelines for scientifically exploring approaches that have come from other cultures, and practices that have flourished outside of conventional care; to gather information about and describe models that can successfully integrate the most effective and safe of these practices into conventional care; to make this information-about what works safely and what doesn't-easily available to all Americans; and to recommend legislative initiatives that will make the best of these therapies, and training in them, an integral part of medical and other professional education.
