More than half of the United States population, approximately 125 million
Americans, suffers from a chronic illness -- conditions such as arthritis,
allergies, pain, hypertension, depression, and digestive problems.
Conventional western medicine often cannot provide satisfactory solutions so
people with chronic conditions increasingly turn to alternative therapies, such
as acupuncture, herbs, mind/body techniques, homeopathy, massage, and more, to
improve their quality of life.
The Alternative Medicine Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization,
