From the author: In the United States, consumer interest in and use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), including in pediatrics, is growing. Despite the reservations of many conventional practitioners, the multi-billion dollar industry is here to stay. To maintain positive relationships with pediatric patients and their families, health care professionals must acknowledge the reality of CAM, be informed themselves about its various therapies, and encourage open dialogue with patients and families. This article offers background about the current status of CAM, in general, as well as specific information about CAM in pediatrics. The parent/family perspective, a list of suggested questions to help initiate parent/professional discussion about exploration and use of CAM, and a resource list for use by both parents and professionals are provided.
