Most Popular Book I Own
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Everybody thinks they know about alternative medicine but this doctor carefully looked for evidence and found it! All my friends call and ask what the books says about the various supplements and treatments and their latest ailments. Because the books has the world's greatest index, I can look up by "arthritis" and find 8 different treatments that have been evaluated.The book is easy to read and will impress even the most serious physician. I've given several copies to very apprepciative friends. If you buy this book, write your name in it because your friends and family will want to bororow it as much as mine do.
A great book that helped me in my practice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a Family Physician I needed good information about the alternative medicine literature. I'm a Family Physician, not an epidemiologist. This is the best book of it's kind I've found. I've used this information in my lectures, my practice, and my personal life. I look forward to an updated edition.
Excellent resource -- see the evidence for CAM treatments
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As a consultant working in the field of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), I find the author has done an excellent job of thoughtfully and objectively collecting a great deal of the more important research literature. The book is easy to access, and can assist the lay person in choosing treatment as well as help health care providers who wish to learn about what CAM practices to include or refer to in their practice.
