The practice of medicine continues to be a challenge for all physicians. Continuous education to patients through a pro-active interaction is needed in order to provide quality of care. The use of CAM must be recognized as a frequent method used by patients to be taken into consideration in the development of a treatment plan for each individual. As new modalities for alternate or complementary care become available to patients more effects (either positive, neutral or negative) will become more apparent. As patient's advocates, the physician has to pursue evidence based information and communicate this information to patients in order to allow them to make informed choices.
