US Government Recognition of Energy Medicine Today
Energy medicine is officially recognized by the U.S.
healthcare systems as a sub-specialty within the larger field of
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). The National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a center within the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), is the federal government's lead
agency for scientific research on CAM. NCCAM's mission is "to explore
complementary and alternative healing practices in the context of
rigorous science, and to disseminate authoritative information to
professionals and the public." NCCAM's budget has risen from 2 million
dollars in 1993, when it was originally called the Office of Alternative
Medicine, to $121.6 million in 2008.
NCCAM classifies five domains within CAM as follows:
Examples of practices involving putative energy fields include Reiki and Johrei, both of Japanese origin, the Chinese practice of Qi Gong, Healing Touch and Polarity Therapy, Therapeutic Touch and related practices, distant healing, and intercessory prayers. Although these approaches are the most controversial of CAM energy medicine practices, they are gaining in popularity in the American marketplace and have become the subjects of investigations at several academic medical centers. A recent National Center for Health Statistics survey indicated that approximately one percent of Americans had used energy medicine techniques, 0.5 percent had used veritable energy techniques, and 4.6 percent had used some kind of healing ritual (CDC Advance Data and Report #333, 2004).
Energy medicine as it is practiced and studied is not restricted to what NCCAM includes in Energy Therapies, but also overlaps with practices in the other four NCCAM fields listed above. Moving some form of "life energy" has been part of every traditional healing system since antiquity. Western scientific thought unfortunately removed the concept of "vitality' or "élan vital" from medical science in the 19th century and thus had difficulty reincorporating these ideas that form such a vital part of Eastern medicine systems. However, during the last three decades, Americans and Canadians have embraced the many therapeutic approaches offered by the proponents of these traditional healing movements.
Each year, almost half of Americans use some form of alternative therapy, typically as an adjunct or complementary modality to conventional Western medicine. Medical schools and hospitals are tentatively offering a few courses and programs now in CAM approaches. A much wider offering is available from a wide variety of alternative service providers which go under a wide variety of names including Humanistic, Holistic, Complementary, Integral, Quantum Integrative, Alternative, and Energy Medicine. The lack of agreement on commonly accepted terminology, standards of practice, lack of sufficient evidence-based outcomes research, philosophical and scientific foundations for practice, coupled with a generally hostile orientation from materialistically-based scientific skeptics has led to some measure of fragmentation in the CAM community and some confusion by the general public. This also applies to many modalities used by energy medicine practitioners. The list below gives some indication of the wide range of categories in general use in holistic medicine / CAM.
NCCAM classifies five domains within CAM as follows:
- Whole Medical Systems such as homeopathic medicine, naturopathic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda
- Mind-Body Medicine such as meditation, biofeedback, or mental healing
- Biologically based practices such as herbs and specialty foods
- Manipulative and body-based practices such as chiropractic, osteopathy, and massage
- Energy Medicine
