Pediatr Clin North Am. 2007 Dec;54(6):837-58; ix. doi: 10.1016/j.pcl.2007.09.007.

Abstract

The use of complementary and alternative medical (CAM) therapies is increasing among well children and adolescents and in those children who have special health care needs. Integrative pediatrics, a holistic practice that includes an examined integration of CAM and conventional therapies, is ideally suited for primary care. This article describes how to integrate evidence-based CAM therapies for colic, atopy, ADHD, eating disorders, and other conditions commonly seen in primary care practice.
