NAFKAM tar imot tips og forslag til nye forskningsprosjekter. Så langt det er mulig, ønsker vi også å bidra til og tilrettelegge forholdene for andre som vil forske på alternativ behandling,
Naturlig betyr ikke nødvendigvis ufarlig. Mange urter, kosttilskudd og dietter kan medføre bivirkninger og interaksjoner, eller andre spesifikke risikofaktorer.

Research shows that half of the cancer patients in Norway use different forms of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) during the course of disease. Many of these patients want to discuss the use of CAM with their GP or an oncologist/cancer nurse. Patients highly value health personnel’s assessment and knowledge of CAM, and appreciate their opinions. A discussion about CAM, which the provider should initiate, would strengthen the relationship between the patient and the provider.
The project is a collaboration between Gunnvald Kvarstein, MD, Ph.D., Professor Department of Clinical Medicine and the Pain Clinic UNN, Thomas Weiss, Ph.D. Professor for Biological and Clinical Psychology and Christian Puta, Ph.D. Institute of Sports Medicine, Friedrich Schiller University, Jena, Germany, and Martha Menard, PhD, Vancouver, Canada.
The aim of the project is to explore the "component effect" and "biological mechanisms" of non-pharmacological therapies for back and neck pain.
