   Alt-Med/CAM Introduction
          Chiropractors have always been considered a “fringe” providor (or worse) by conventional medicine. That all started to change with the publication of David M. Eisenberg's January 28, 1993 article in the New England Journal of Medicine

   The Obstacles and Barriers to CAM Research
           Anthony Rosner, PhD
          The efforts to launch and develop a National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine within the framework of the NIH are indeed admirable, taking the Center from a humble $2M annual budget in 1991 to one that approaches $70M today. This has taken place despite the comments of highly visible and influential individuals within the medical community to discredit alternative medicine in virtually any shape or form, a topic that I shall return to momentarily. Following are what I believe to be the most significant barriers to research efforts in alternative medicine, the barriers having either remained in place or only recently having been removed.
