============================================================================ == "Daily News JULY 17, 2000 Alternative Medicine Panel Formed WASHINGTON (AP) - President Clinton has appointed a Harvard educated psychiatrist as chair of a new commission charged with recommending federal guidelines for the use of alternative medical therapies. Clinton created the White House Commission on Alternative Medicine by executive order earlier this year. The commission is supposed to recommend legislation or administration action to help people make the most of alternative medicine while avoiding potential risks from unproven therapies. ``Each year, tens of millions of Americans receive alternative therapies. The great potential and possible perils associated with the use of complementary and alternative medicine have been well documented,'' Clinton said in a statement issued at the White House. ``There is no doubt that these therapies should be held to the same standard of scientific rigor as more traditional health care interventions.'' Clinton appointed Dr. James S. Gordon, of Washington, to chair the group. He also appointed nine other members, with others planned later." ========================================================================== -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
