Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Definitive Guide is known as the Bible of alternative medicine. You may very well want to use a dictionary stand for this hefty tome; it weighs in at more than 1,000 pages. Nearly 400 doctors (M.D.s, Ph.D.s, naturopaths, Doctors of Oriental Medicine, and osteopaths) contribute their cutting-edge knowledge, and the list of names is impressive. You'll find words of advice from Joseph Pizzorno, the president of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington; C. Norman Shealy, the cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association; Nobel laureate Linus Pauling; Deepak Chopra; and Joan Borysenko, author and director of the Mind-Body Health Sciences in Boulder, Colorado.

After an intriguing, optimistic look at "The Future of Medicine," the book is divided into two sections. The first profiles 43 alternative therapies--acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, qigong, hyperthermia, and yoga among them--including their development, how they work, proven uses, and controversial or yet-to-be-proven uses, along with contact information for organizations. The second section covers 105 topics such as headaches, mental health, and allergies, along with the alternative therapies that are most likely to help alleviate pain and encourage healing. This guide is easy enough to understand to make it perfect for home reference, while it would also make a fine resource for health care providers interesting in learning more about alternative medicine. --Erica Jorgensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Review

"Weighty yet incredibly useful reference for anyone who wants to learn more about alternative medicine therapies." - Cooking Light

"This book could save your life." -Julian Whitaker, M.D.

"If you are interested in alternative medicine of any kind, and want the security of authenticity in this field, you'¬?d better get Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide." -Deepak Chopra, M.D.

"In bookstores nationwide, titles on holistic cures by such authors as Andrew Weil, Dr. Dean Ornish and Christiane Northrop have been selling out for some time. Still, it may come as a surprise that one of the bestsellers in the field has no famous name attached: it's an 1,100-page reference book entitled Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide." -Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars The bood was in pretty good conditions. Like new....! Not complains about the book but........., Oct 9 2009
This review is from: Alternative Medicine P (Paperback)
I am happy with the service and the item I received....The only thing is that I think it was a little bit late...It is important to deliver the items as soon as you guys receive the online order. We, the customers, expect to receive items by the stipulated time you specify in your shipping agreement(I know that there are obstacles and delays(may or may not be under your control);however and above all, the item was a little bit late and that could have beem avoided. that's all...!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on alternative medicine, Jan 7 2003
By A Customer
This has to be one of the most useful books on alternative medicine ever published, and now it's been completely updated and revised in 2002. Instead of getting just one doctor's perspective, you get the experiences of over 400 physicians. Whether you want to learn more about acupuncture, applied kinesiology, and other therapies or need to look up the treatments for a particular health problem, this is the book to go to first. Highly recommended!
