About this title

Synopsis

At least one in three people in the United States -- that's about 85 million people -- has tried one form or another of alternative medicine. Whether folks try acupuncture, yoga, macrobiotics, crystal healing, homeopathy, or chiropractic care, they are looking for something that doesn't fit into the regimented world of conventional health care. And although plenty of mainstream doctors out there still don't want to hear or talk about medical alternatives, more and more doctors -- and their patients, people like you -- are exploring new paths to healthier, happier lives. Alternative Medicine For Dummies helps you understand and explore these alternative options in traditional and nontraditional medicines with evenhanded impartiality and gentle doses of good humor. Find out how to tell the qualified practitioners from the quacks, choose a practitioner sensitive to your needs and concerns, explore medicinal options from other cultures, use popular relaxation and meditation techniques to reduce your daily stress levels, and discover what Mother Nature can do for you with water, plants, light, and more.

Reviews

This no-nonsense guide to unconventional medicine, by the head of Oxford Health Plan's Alternative Medicine Program and a medical writer, provides a little bit of everything on the subject. Although the prevailing spirit of the book conveys "fun and ease," there is an emphasis on safety, with the scientific literature referenced throughout the text. Loaded with tables, charts, helpful icons, and cartoons, this will appeal to many readers. (LJ 3/15/99)
