Review

This edition provides a valuable and indeed essential compendium of a broad range of CAM therapies and evidence of their efficacy and safety, or lack thereof, for different clinical applications. It includes practical recommendations that the busy clinician can use in considering the responsible use of CAM therapies as part of a comprehensive approach toward patient care. --Ralph Snyderman, MD, Chancellor Emeritus, Duke University

A practical, well researched summary that will help integrate unconventional healing approaches into the mainstream health care system. --Mehmet Oz MD, Vice Chair and Professor of Surgery, NY Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University

This book is a must read for health care professionals interested in using an evidence-based approach toward integrating alternative therapies into clinical practice. Drawing on exhaustive research reviews, the authors present their material in an easy to read format, including summary tables in each chapter with bottom-line recommendations organized by treatment and condition. I believe this book will be of great help to busy health care professionals who need scientifically sound guidance about CAM practices. --Andrew Weil, MD, Director, Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Arizona
