I quickly learned that the NCCAM had dramatically expanded the scope of its work in a relatively short period of time, but I was even more interested in the earlier history of its predecessor organization, the Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM), which had been created in 1991. What little had been written about the early history of the OAM made it pretty clear it was a fascinating story, involving questions about the relationship between politics and medical research, the nature of medical knowledge, and how different people defined the boundaries between mainstream medicine and its alternatives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"840\" data-carousel-extra='{"blog_id":1,"permalink":"https:\\\/\\\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\\\/2016\\\/02\\\/18\\\/in-the-belly-of-the-beast-a-history-of-alternative-medicine-at-nih\\\/","likes_blog_id":"52242398"}' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 840px;

The story of how Senator Tom Harkin became the key figure behind the creation of the OAM is pretty fascinating. Two close allies of Harkin, Berkeley Bedell and Frank Wiewel, each have great stories to tell. Bedell was a longtime friend of Harkin and a former member of the House of Representatives, and he believed that alternative medicine had twice cured him of diseases after mainstream medicine had failed. Wiewel had been a longtime supporter of a controversial alternative treatment for cancer and started up an agency designed to be a referral service for therapies that had been labeled \u201cunconventional.\u201d Bedell and Wiewel also became members of the advisory panel for the OAM and in many ways epitomized one of the primary challenges facing OAM\u2014the political pressure to produce particular results often conflicted with the scientific mission of the NIH. Participation of figures like Bedell and Wiewel on the advisory board also left the OAM vulnerable to critics and skeptics, who argued the research was politically motivated, and therefore unavoidably flawed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CN:<\/strong> What sparked your interest in this subject?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8529\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8529\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/101444335.png?ssl=1\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8529\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"8529\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/2016\/02\/18\/in-the-belly-of-the-beast-a-history-of-alternative-medicine-at-nih\/attachment\/101444335\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/101444335.png?fit=1600%2C1098&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1098\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0"}\" data-image-title=\"The Quack\" data-image-description=\"<p>http:\/\/resource.nlm.nih.gov\/101444335<br \/>\nPostcard no. 179 pc <\/p>\n\" data-image-caption=\"<p>The Quack by Jan Steen<\/p>\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/101444335.png?fit=300%2C206&ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/101444335.png?fit=840%2C576&ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-8529 size-medium\" title=\"The Quack\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/101444335.png?resize=300%2C206&ssl=1\" alt=\"Ailiing people gather around a group of people on an outdoor platform, a well dressed man speaks to the crowd.\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Quack by Jan Steen<br \/><em><a href=\"http:\/\/resource.nlm.nih.gov\/101444335\">National Library of Medicine<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>EB:<\/strong> I first became interested in this subject as an undergrad, after I took a medical anthropology class.

Work on that thesis ultimately became the inspiration for my dissertation, which looked at some of the boundaries between \u201corthodox\u201d and \u201cunorthodox\u201d medicine, and that became the basis for my first book, <em>Quack Medicine: A History of Combating Health Fraud in Twentieth-Century America<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CN:<\/strong> This is very recent history, what sources did you find most informative as you conducted your research?<\/p>\n<p><strong>EB:<\/strong> Doing more recent history can definitely be a challenge, partly because conventional archival sources can be surprisingly difficult to find.
