Americans spent just under $34 billion on CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) in 2007. That's more than one third of adults spending over 11% of their health care money on alternative medicine. About 44% of spending was on suppliments, while 35% was spent on approximately 300 million acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, and other CAM visits. That's almost $12 billion dollars a year, and about a quarter of what they are speding on western medicine.
