Re: What doctors should tell their patients about CAM

You are quite right to highlight the problem of excessive tolerance of CAM and your comments are particularly timely in the light of Prof Ernst's recent publication and the criticisms of CAM from the U.S.A. Is it not now time for the BMJ to commission a themed issue entitled "Why doctors should warn their patients to be sceptical of CAM"? Perhaps Prof Ernst might be invited to be guest editor.
