The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9 a.m., in the ceremo­ nial courtroom, 19th floor, Phillip Burton Federal Building and Courthouse, San Francisco, Calif., Hon. Edward R. Roybal (chair­ man of the committee) presiding. Members present: Representatives Roybal of California and Burton of California. Staff present: Jorge Lambrinos, staff director, Select Committee on Aging; Edwin Davis, Judy Lemons, and Christine Pelosi of Rep­ resentative Burton's staff. OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN EDWARD R. ROYBAL Mr. ROYBAL. The House Committee on Aging will now come to order. Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to be here in San Francis­ co, and have the opportunity to work with Congresswoman Burton on the issues of improving the medicare program, and covering acupuncture services under medicare and medicaid. In January, the Congress will once again be faced with the prob­ lems surrounding the medicare and medicaid programs. Both pro­ grams have been hit hard by the rising cost of health care, and have had difficulty keeping up with the needs of the elderly and the poor. These pressures have made it more difficult for Congress to consider changes in services, covered by medicare and medicaid. However, I remain convinced that the Congress should keep an open mind as it considers the wide range of proposals for changing medicare and medicaid financing and covered services. One such change in covered service is the legislative proposal on acupuncture made by Congresswoman Burton. This service has re­ mained outside the medicare and medicaid programs. Acupuncture is a practice which has been used for centuries in other countries and which has gained popularity just recently in the United States. After listening to the argument by Congresswoman Burton for the coverage of acupuncture under medicare and medicaid, I agreed that the House Select Committee on Aging should include an ex­ amination of acupuncture as part of this hearing on medicare. The first panel of witnesses will focus on the issue of the coverage of acupuncture under both medicare and medicaid. During the second part of the hearing, I have asked witnesses to speak on more general issues surrounding the elderly and the (1) 2 medicare program in general. If medicare is to be kept alive, and its covered services and eligibility expanded, we need to gain better control over rising health costs. This will require a joint effort be­ tween the Congress and the health care insurers and providers. At the same time that we are trying to contain health care costs, I want the aging committee to examine approaches for improving both benefits and eligibility for the poor and for the elderly. I trust that this hearing will touch on several issues of concern to the elderly and to the long term financing health of the medi­ care program itself. As you know, the medicare program is present­ ly operating under great difficulty. There are some who predict that we will run out of these funds as early as 1990, and possibly even before. However, we are going to look into the subject matter very carefully. I can assure you that Mrs. Burton will join me and the Committee on Aging in seeing to it that medicare is well fi­ nanced and it will continue beyond this century. I realize that it is a tremendous problem, but one that is not insolvable. I want to express my appreciation to Congresswoman Burton and her staff for assisting the Aging Committee in holding hearings here in San Francisco. This is the first hearing on acupuncture. We will go back to Washington, D.C., and hold a hearing there on the same subject matter. We will also include acupuncture in other hearings that will be held throughout the country. The committee

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

  • Unsound Methods of Cancer Treatment
    UNSOUND METHODS OF CANCER TREATMENT. Gregory A. Curt, M.D. Division of Cancer Treatment, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892 1. "Things are seldom what they seem, skim milk masquerades as cream. Gilbert and Sullivan, "HMS Pinafore" DEFINITION AND MAGNITIJDE OF THE PROBLEM Earlier editions of .. Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology" entitled this chapter "Unproven Methods of Cancer Treatment." However, the term "unproven" is nonjudgmental and is, at best, a euphemism for the unsound therapies that are described in this chapter. After all, many of the newer methods of cancer treatment described in the previous chapter are, in some sense, "unproven" in that their precise role in clinical treatment remains uncertain. The distinguishing characteristics of unsound methods of cancer treatment (whether one wishes to label them unproven, unorthodox, nontraditional, or alternative therapies) are:. 1) promotion without sufficient preclinical data to justify use in patients, and 2) unmethodical treatment of patients that is incapable of detecting either meaningful responses or therapy-related side effects. Not surprisingly, purveyors of unsound methods generally offer "non-toxic" or "natural" approaches to cancer treatment. Somewhat surprisingly, and as will be discussed in greater detail later, these unorthodox practitioners are largely physicians who escape regulatory control by the Food and Dru g Administration and offer their particular treatment ap proach to well-educated patients with early-stage disease. At a time when 50% of the serious cancers diagnosed in the United States are curable with existing therapies and access to scientifically sound ex perimental trials has been considerably simplified with computerized 2.

  • Key Legislative Points Pertaining to the Licensing and Regulation of Practitioners of Naturopathic Medicine in North America
    Key legislative points pertaining to the licensing and regulation of practitioners of naturopathic medicine in North America January 2018 Britt Marie Hermes, ND (ret.) [email protected] Let me get straight to the point: Naturopathic education is rich in pseudoscience and fake medicine, and it is devoid of legitimate medical training. Naturopaths are not trained in the rigors of medical science, and this leads to a severe lack of competency and a huge risk of patient harm. NDs seem nice and charismatic, but they do not posses medial competency, especially to prescribe drugs. I organized this letter into sections of eight key points that illustrate why legislatures and physicians should worry that naturopaths want to be licensed to practice a “distinct form of primary health care.”1 (Note: I refer to naturopathic doctors as naturopaths for convenience.) KEY POINT #1: Naturopaths graduating from Bastyr University receive 561 hours in “primary care” training, but which is not real primary care medicine. Naturopathic clinical training takes place in a naturopathic teaching clinic, which is an outpatient clinic that caters to a small subset of typically healthy patients. No clinical training takes place in a hospital setting, like it does for medical providers. Clinical training at naturopathic teaching clinics encompasses the diagnosis and treatment of fake medical conditions, such as adrenal fatigue and systemic yeast overgrowth.2,3 Typical naturopathic treatments include supplement and diet based “detox” programs, energy medicine like homeopathy, hydrotherapy like colon irrigation, botanical medicines, intravenous injections of vitamins, and very little conventional medicine.4,5 In other words, naturopaths are trained to treat the “worried well.” Based on how I, and my colleagues, earned our naturopathic degrees from Bastyr University, I can attest that naturopathic graduates tend to exaggerate or miscalculate their training hours.

  • Index of File Material on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management
    J A Index of American Cancer Society File Material on UNPROVEN METHODSofCANCER , MANAGEMENT ® AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY 1972 INTRODUCTION The American Cancer Society Committee on Unproven Methods of Cancer Management was established in 1955 for the purpose of reviewing the entire field of unproven cancer diagnostic or therapeutic methods. Since that time, the Committee has been instrumental in collecting, abstracting, and sunnnarizing a great deal of material dealing with new or unproven diagnostic or treatment methods, with a view to establishing and maintaining an information center which would be concerned with the collection and distribution of material in this field. As a first step in this direction, the attached Index of material in the American Cancer Society files has been prepared. The Committee has attempted to make the Index complete and compre­ hensive for the information and assistance it may render to the medical profession. Naturally, therefore, there is included in this Index the names of men and names of materials which have been recognized as proven or even outstanding in other fields, They are included in this Index because either the material has been suggested but not proven in the cancer field or the men whose work has been outstanding in other fields have made statements or written articles with reference to can­ cer which are in the unproven area. No conclusion should be drawn by •I the reader from the mere appearance of any name in this Index. Inquiry should be made of the American Cancer Society as to the material in its files before you reach any conclusions.
