Be Wise! Tips on Choosing Complementary
and Alternative Treatment Part II
Be thoughtful: Use reliable sources. If you use a
search engine such as
Google and enter the
phrase, “complementary
and alternative medicine,”
Karrie Oertli
Administrative Director
you’ll likely get more than

3,000,000 results! While
the Internet is a good source for information, you
cannot trust that all the information is valid. One of
the best sources for information about CAM is the
National Center for Complementary and Alternative
Medicine at the National Institutes of Health. Its
Web site is www.nccam.nih.gov. The section, “Be an
Informed Consumer,” is a great resource. Investigate
what kinds of treatments and interventions are supported by research, versus what might be wishful
thinking, fake or downright deceptive.
Be sure: Check the person’s training and credentials. Take care that the person to whom you’re
entrusting your health is trustworthy to receive it!
Some CAM practitioners have spent years in preparation and training to provide the services they offer.
Many are credentialed by legitimate organizations.
However, some persons who claim to be practitioners
may have had little or no formal training. Because
there are so many ways to get information, some folks
may simply gather information from the Internet and
call themselves “practitioners.” This betrays the significant learning and efforts of those who have spent years
to become credentialed. Ask the practitioner about
training, and then investigate on your own. Trust your
instincts and be wary of those who can’t share with
you specific information about their training.
Be inquisitive: Prepare to ask questions. It’s
tempting to think that you can take what is offered at
face value, and sometimes you can. But there are
times when you can’t and you shouldn’t. When it
comes to your health, be prepared to ask challenging
questions. Talk with the practitioner about what the
treatment or intervention can or can’t do. Trustworthy
practitioners know how effective the treatments they
offer are; they will be quick to tell you about their
limitations as well. Trustworthy practitioners also
know how and when to refer to others for care they
are not qualified to offer. If the practitioner makes a
claim about what the treatment or intervention can
do, ask him to support that claim with research. If he
can’t or won’t, find another practitioner.
Be cautious: If it’s too good to be true, it probably is! Many claims are just plain outrageous. With
every treatment, there are risks, so consider what risks

Mind/Body Essentials:
Intro to Aromatherapy**
During this entertaining introduction to the clinical use of aromatherapy, Raine Benham and
Brenda Walters will relate the intriguing history
and background of modern aromatherapy. They
also will convey what “clinical aromatherapy”
means and how it is different from scented candles
and products from your favorite bath shop.
Do you really know what’s in that bottle? Discover
why the distributor you select can make a profound
difference in the results you get from your oils.
Learn when and when not to use specific oils. Join
us in experiencing specific useful oils and different
techniques for using them.

Anytime you want! Make your
reservation now for a one-day
mystery trip on June 22. Sorry, I
can’t tell you more … it’s a mystery! Cost is $99 per person, two
meals included.
After the mystery you’ll want to
take advantage of the Talimena Skyline drive on Oct. 28.
Oklahoma’s Talimena drive rivals fall color anywhere in the
nation and late October is known as the “peak” time for the
foliage. Dinner is planned in Krebs, adding wonderful food
to complement the beautiful scenery of the day. Cost is $79
per person.
And, if you’re wondering, yes, there is more to a New
England Fall Foliage trip than simply breathtaking scenery.
Many splendid events, too numerous to list, are offered on

worthy of remembrance. Only $2199 per
person, double.

you’re taking when you think about CAM. Unnecessary or unsubstantiated treatment can be very expensive – not only in terms of
dollars, but also in terms of your health!
So, be wise about your choices when you choose to engage in
