Integrative or Complementary Medicine- diagnostic methods or therapies offered or employed by a physician, or under his on-site supervision and direction, in addition or as an alternative to conventional medicine methods or therapies, in the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of any illness, disease or condition which do not, in the judgment of the physician, pose a safety risk for a patient that is greater than conventional medicine methods or therapies and provided there exists a reasonable probability for diagnostic or therapeutic effectiveness in its intended use.
