Are there any countries on the planet that do n't practice general medicine ?
In a study titled " Development and classification of an operational definition of complementary and alternative medicine for the Cochrane Collaboration " ( 2011 ) it was proposed that indicators that a therapy is accepted include government licensing of practitioners , coverage by health insurance , statements of approval by government agencies , and recommendation as part of a practice guideline ; and that if something is currently a standard , accepted therapy , then it is not likely to be widely considered as CAM .
