Pentagon Invests in CAM for War Stress

Jul 11, 2008

The Pentagon has made a historic move to invest in providing CAM therapies for the treatment of war veterans. There is a rising tide of mental illness amongst Iraq and Afghan war veterans with a high number of suicides such that the Pentagon has decided that the more holistic and gentle treatments of CAM must be explored. Early results are already showing positive effects.
