Most of us come to rest at a balancing point between faith and empiricism that permits us to navigate our daily lives with friendships, jobs, and familial relations more or less intact.

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (or CAM) therapies are largely defined by a lack of scientific evidence in support of their effectiveness.
