Great Resource for Alternative Health Care

This book provides an excellent guide for those who want alternative care. It includes information on herbs, acupuncture, mind-body work, food supplements and other alternatives. Written by a physician and based on the ratings of a panel of health care providers it covers a wide range of expertise. I was especially interested in the section on back pain that I had recently experienced. True to my experience the traditional medical and physical therapy mentioned was not effective but the alternatives were. This book can save the consumer time from experimenting and lets them go straight to the best treatment available. Highly recommended. Carl O. Helvie, R.N., Dr.P.H., Author "Healthy Holistic Aging."

Excellent resource for those looking at alternative medicine

This is an excellent guide to choosing an alternative health care option. It marries the option with the ailments so readers can see what options work best with their specific concern. The cost of treatment is invaluable when making a choice and for comparison when talking with providers. This one is a keeper for your personal bookshelf!
