From the Publisher:

Written to help the public, the consumer, patients and their families understand what works, what's dangerous, and how best to evaluate the hundreds of claims that can be found on the internet and in the popular press. Each entry is researched and based on scientific evidence. Possible problems or complications are identified and clearly highlighted for easy reference.Hundreds of entries covering a broad range, such as herbs, vitamins, minerals, diet, manual healing, and biological methods written in clear, understandable language."...The American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods...is likely to prove as valuable to oncologists as patients.
