Synopsis

With 30 percent new material on various ailments and their treatments, this edition of Finding the Right Treatment directly fulfills the need for a balanced discussion on current conventional and alternative medicines, protocols, and treatments.

Listing conventional and alternative remedies, therapies, and preventive measures side by side, it gives readers tools to make informed healthcare choices. This book is also an excellent reference to both common and life-threatening illnesses. As Dr. Krohn explains, We are not advocating abandoning either modern medicine or alternative medicine but selecting the best from both disciplines.”

From Booklist

Presenting the strengths and weaknesses of both regular and alternative medicine, Krohn and Taylor provide a reference work and a good basis for discussion groups. No single system of medicine can give patients all they need, they maintain, in terms of the best physician, most appropriate treatment program, and worthiest preventive measures for specific conditions. Krohn and Taylor offer practical advice for finding a physician or surgeon who will meet an individual's needs and lifestyle. They discuss advantages and disadvantages of several medical philosophies and their related treatments; in an especially helpful section, arranged by disease, they go more deeply into differences in practice. Prevention is a major theme throughout. The chapter on vaccination includes much helpful information and raises many thought-provoking questions; it should prove one of the most often consulted parts of the book. Krohn and Taylor conclude with brief but graphic descriptions of two groups of Pima Indians to point out how different lifestyles can have opposite results even for people who share the same background.
