- 9. Considerations to Make When Looking at Complementary Health Care Approaches (Handout #1 for Class #3) The following are some considerations to make when considering CAM practices and the safety of the modality: 1). Each person responds differently to each healthcare approach and products. Some things that may affect your outcome include your own health, how you use the product and what you believe. 2). Just because something says it is natural does not mean it is safe. Be sure to do your own research. 3). Do research and know what factors affect the safety of both a product and a practice. 4). When choosing a CAM practitioner choose just as wisely as you would choose a primary health care provider. 5). Be sure to tell all your health care providers about any CAM practices and products that you utilize. 6). Be sure that any CAM practitioner you choose is willing to work with your primary healthcare provider as well.
