Answer 1

Answer:

The White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy was convened to evaluate CAM utilization in the U.S. and to make recommendations regarding future governmental action.

Explanation:

Complementary medicine practices refer to those treatments used by people in parallel to conventional western medical therapies. It also refers to alternative medicine (treatments used instead of  conventional medical therapies). Since 1950, interest in alternative medical practices increased. During the decades of the 60s and 70s, many natural and holistic healing practices emerged.

The White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy made 25 recommendations for both government and private companies to take into account when educating and training health practitioners. These measures were included in the strategic plan that covered the period 2011-2015.
