Alternative Medicine Alert, a 12-page monthly newsletter, is dedicated to providing clinicians with evidence-based, clinically sound information on complementary and alternative medicine.

Edited by Russell H. Greenfield, MD, Clinical Assistant Professor, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC; and Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Arizona, College of Medicine, Tucson, AZ. The newsletter takes a critical look each month at popular therapies and outlines the clinical data that either support or refute the use of each therapy. Clinicians can gain a quick understanding of how various alternative therapies are supposed to work, potential beneficial uses, and the dangers of some popular therapies that have no available clinical proof of efficacy.

A one-year subscription price includes at least 12 issues per year.
