Why Do Doctors, Nurses Often Use Holistic Medicine for Themselves?

Posted By Dr. Mercola | August 25 2011 | 2080 views

A new study shows that over 76 percent of health care workers use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) when it comes to their own health care. CAM includes a wide range of therapies outside traditional medicine. For example, as reported by Newswise, health care workers use chiropractic treatment, massage and acupuncture for conditions that conventional medicine doesn’t address well. Other CAM usages include such things as Pilates, meditation, being in a vegetarian diet and taking certain herbs.
