According to a nationwide
government survey released in May 2004, 36 percent of
U.S. adults aged 18 years and over use some form of

Medicine is defined as a group of diverse medical and

Medicine, the number of U.S. adults using some form
of Complimentary Alternative Medicine in the past year
rises to 62 percent.
