Why is complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) supposed to work? -- Is CAM religious? -- Yoga: I bow to the God within you -- Is CAM Christian? -- I love my chiropractor -- Does CAM work, and is it safe? -- Acupuncture: reclaiming ancient wisdom -- How did CAM become mainstream? -- Energy medicine: how her karma ran over his dogma -- Why does it matter if CAM is religious (and not Christian) even if it works?
This text tells the surprising story of how complementary and alternative medicine, CAM, entered biomedical and evangelical Christian mainstreams despite its roots in non-Christian religions and the lack of scientific evidence of its efficacy and safety
