Summer 2009

Your response to the ICA’s 2009 Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Survey was overwhelming. More than 2,000 of you went to our survey page to tell us about your experience with CAM. Because so many of you are trying these techniques or are interested in them, we are bringing you a special issue focused exclusively on CAM. You’ll learn what your fellow ICers said helped them the most and what research has to say about it. Some of the top techniques won’t surprise you -- diet was number one. But some of the others were a surprise. Find out what your fellow ICers said and how to make CAM work for you in the next issue of ICA Update.

This issue’s cover photo, Tranquility, is by photographer and IC patient Erin Thames from Fort Collins, Colorado. Thames integrates acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine into her own treatment.

ICA Update is mailed to all ICA members donating a minimum of $45.00 (US dollars) or more per year ($60.00 outside the United States).
