Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) that targets infants and children can place them at grave risk. Our plan is to review some of the major cases of CAM used by parents, and by unlicensed and even licensed health professionals. Complications from CAM are rarely the focus of regulatory bodies, or even the courts. Even regulated health professionals, who have profited by misrepresenting science-based evidence for treatment or prevention of disease, have been rarely sanctioned by their respective Boards or Colleges. This must change. In addition, there is a dire need for regulators, including the governments, who allow quack products and devices to be marketed in their respective countries, to prosecute them. Existing regulations must be coupled with more effective enforcement. Some of these cases have had a direct connection to me personally, while others are examples of just plain dangerous quackery.
针对婴幼儿的补充替代医学（CAM）可能会使他们面临严重风险。我们的计划是回顾一些家长、无执照甚至有执照的健康专业人员使用补充替代医学的主要案例。补充替代医学引发的并发症很少成为监管机构甚至法院的关注焦点。即使是那些通过歪曲基于科学的疾病治疗或预防证据而获利的受监管健康专业人员，也很少受到其各自委员会或学会的制裁。这种情况必须改变。此外，迫切需要包括政府在内的监管机构对那些允许庸医产品和设备在其各自国家销售的行为进行起诉。现有法规必须与更有效的执法相结合。其中一些案例与我个人有直接关联，而其他案例则是明显危险的江湖骗术的例子。
