Have you tried complementary medicine?

     75% of healthcare workers have used some form of alternative/complementary medicine as compared to 63% of Americans in non-healthcare fields.  This is according to the National Health Interview Survey done in 2007, results being published in the Journal:  Health Services Research.  This is interesting to me as none of Dean's doctors ever suggested any type of complementary treatments to his chemo/radiation.  Doctors and nurses are using this for themselves, however.
     It is a reminder that we are responsible for our own health and healthcare, and must become knowledgeable consumers. 

     Another interesting news bit:  the University of North Texas opened a strictly vegan cafeteria this year, the first mainstream university in the nation to do so, to provide for a student body whose tastes are growing increasingly diverse and to respond to an overwhelming student demand for meatless meals.  This is great news.
