Rheum Dis Clin North Am.

Abstract
The increasing prevalence of complementary and alternative medicine usage by the general population and rheumatic patients worldwide is reviewed. The many potential concerns about this type of therapy are addressed, ranging from toxicity issues to changes in behavioral attitudes. Finally, the authors speculate on some major socioeconomic outcomes associated with these therapies.
