Dr. Labrum's findings lead him to approach the problem of peripheral neuropathy without the usual reliance of prescription medication. In fact, he discovered that the medications doctors so often prescribe for a myriad of conditions are a major contributing factor to peripheral neuropathy!
Regarding CAM, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Henry Guzman, Registered Nurse and Exercise Physiologist at Baptist Health South Florida, explains: “Complementary is anything that’s going to complement traditional medicine, so anything from food therapy to exercise complement.”
He also points out it is traditional in the sense that it has been rigorously tested through research and been kind of tested over all. And it is alternative as opposed to the combination of alternative and traditional medicine.
This term is referring to different types of exercises and diets, such as aromatherapy and reflexology. Video Rating: / 5

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard care. Standard care is what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health professionals, such as nurses and physical therapists, practice.
Complementary medicine is used together with standard medical care. An example is using acupuncture to help with side effects of cancer treatment.
Alternative medicine is used in place of standard medical care. An example is treating heart disease with chelation therapy (which seeks to remove excess metals from the blood) instead of using a standard approach.
The claims that CAM treatment providers make can sound promising. However, researchers do not know how safe many CAM treatments are or how well they work. Studies are underway to determine the safety and usefulness of many CAM practices.
To minimize the health risks of a CAM treatment
Discuss it with your doctor. It might have side effects or interact with other medicines
Find out what the research says about it
Choose CAM practitioners carefully
Tell all of your doctors and practitioners which CAM and standard treatments you use
