Many of these disorders are easily treated or prevented, but the knowledge of how to prevent or treat them must be shared. JAAIM Online would like to help "spread the word" about how integrative or complementary medical techniques can have an impact on these conditions. Please help us do this by writing to us about cutting edge procedures/treatments/therapies/preventions are being developed or used to fight these health conditions? Please share with information with JAAIM Online and your fellow members by writing a short column or article on the subject for potential publication in a future issue of JAAIM Online!
