Since complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) include the area of prayer, I  keep abreast of reports that mention CAM. The attached report mentions alternative and complementary medicines. In prior reports, prayer was the leading alternative medicine used by the public (49%). I found this report interesting and I’m sharing it with you. I hope you find the information informative and I am happy to respond to any questions you may have.

    Prayer is my choice of healthcare and it’s very affordable! (=

    Hi Don,
    I tried to read the article that you linked to, but it’s behind a pay wall. I’d love to read the PDF or full text – can you make that available at all?

    Thanks for all your good work!

    -Michael

    Michael, I do not have a subscription which would make the total article available. The information I needed was contained in the abstract. Sorry.
