tailieunhanh - NCI’s Annual Report on Complementary and Alternative Medicine

As the modern era has ended formal assimilation policies and introduced multicultural policies that support Indigenous traditionalism, an interesting challenge is now faced by Indigenous Peoples, the institutionalization of tradition! (RCAP, 1996; Waldrum, 1997; Frideres, 1993). The fact that government agencies “support” the revitalization of Aboriginal “culture and heritage” creates the need to analyze what kind of impact these new policies will have on specific areas, most critically, traditional medicine. The Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991 defines “Aboriginal healer” as an Aboriginal person who provides Aboriginal healing services (Chapter 18, 1991). This open-ended definition can become a double-edged sword, since. | National Cancer Institute NCI Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine Fiscal Year 2006 . DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES National Institutes of Health Director s Message The research the National Cancer Institute NCI supports at universities across the country and in our NCI laboratories is focused on the ultimate goal of helping cancer patients. That mission achieved through intricate research and rigorous science most certainly extends as well to NCI s study of complementary and alternative medicine also known as CAM. This report offers a window into NCI s accomplishments in advancing evidence-based CAM interventions and therapies along with some perspective on our efforts to more fully understand their efficacy because of the genetic and biological differences between patients. It is important that physicians caring for patients with cancer know which CAM therapies are compatible with standard chemotherapy methods and with medicines we use to combat the symptoms associated with treatment. Because cancer is a disease of such complexity CAM must be an integrated part of the larger research enterprise touching on many other areas including studies of basic tumor biology drug design nutrition and behavioral medicine. Consequently NCI s portfolio of CAM research is distributed throughout many of the Institute s programs. The Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine supports this research through its efforts to attract experienced investigators to work in this important area of science. I hope you find this report helpful. I also hope that it will generate increased dialogue especially between patients and their healthcare professionals about the appropriate uses of CAM in conjunction with conventional medicine. Cancer patients deserve credible unbiased information about any intervention or treatment regimen that they are considering. It is our duty to conduct the science that makes their wise decisions possible. John E. .
