OVERVIEW AND INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Complementary and Alternative Therapies Modulating Cardiometabolic
Syndrome Risk Factors, a self-directed, accredited learning program.
When selecting complementary and alternative therapies, the nutrition
professional needs to evaluate all the possible options. Herbal remedies,
vitamins and minerals are each considered dietary supplements by the
FDA, they do not have the same rigorous testing and labeling process
as over-the-counter and prescription medications. Some of these substances,
including products labeled as "natural," a term with no government
approved definition, have drug-like effects that can be dangerous. Certain
vitamins and minerals can cause problems when taken in excessive amounts.
While some changes to federal labeling guidelines have helped protect
consumers by requiring manufacturers to evaluate the identity, purity,
strength, and composition of dietary supplements. healthcare providers
still need to carefully investigate potential benefits and side effects
before making recommendations to their patients.
This self-directed, accredited learning program will provide you with
detailed information that will enable you to evaluate the beneficial
effects and safety of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapy
to reduce cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) risk factors including:
Evaluating and assessing the modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors
of CMS.
Assessing the possible complications of CMS.
Evaluating the beneficial and safety effects of complementary therapies.
Planning, recommending and implementing CAM therapy to reduce risk factors
of CMS along with lifestyle modifications to maintain quality health
care.
This learning program is designed to help you earn 16 continuing professional
education units (CPEUs). It is a category 2 Continuing Professional
Education (CPE) program, meaning that the reader has general knowledge
of the literature and professional experience within the area covered.
The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most out of this program, it is suggested that you follow
these four steps:
Step 1: Read the material presented in each of the chapters.
