An interesting article published online in an Autism Forum led me to read that in December of 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics published a clinical report stating that CAM cannot be ignored any longer by pediatricians. Specifically, the report begins with this… “ the American Academy of Pediatrics recognizes the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine in children and, as a result, the need to provide information and support for pediatricians…”.
The report says "pediatricians and other clinicians who care for children have the responsibility to advise and counsel patients and families about relevant, safe, effective and age-appropriate health services and therapies, regardless of whether they are considered mainstream or CAM."
