Handy, accurate guide to dealing with many health topics

This little book has helped me so often! From carpal tunnel to migrain headaches, Angela has done her homework. She give a balanced report - including conventional therapies as well as herbal, nutritional, and acupressure when appropriate. I find this book very user friendly.

Excellent resource book!!

I have found this book to be invaluable. If you want to consider alternatives to conventional medicine, but at the same time, be aware of those treatments as well, this is the book for you. The author addresses up to 22 alternatives to what she calls "orthodox" or Western medicine for each ailment listed. And she covers the gamut, from foot odor to high blood pressure.The book concentrates on the area where Western medicine seems least able to cope - chronic illness. If you are troubled by chronic health problems, buy this book.
